Summary
Service Bulletin – American Honda
is announcing a powertrain warranty extension as a result of a settlement of a class action captioned, Soto et al.v. American Honda Motor Co., Inc., Case No. 3:12-cv-1377-SI (N.D. Cal.). The piston rings on certain cylinders may rotate and align, which can lead to spark plug fouling. This can set DTCs P0301 No. 1 cylinder misfire detected, P0302 No. 2 cylinder misfire detected, P0303 No. 3 cylinder misfire detected, P0304 No. 4 cylinder misfire detected, and cause the MIL to come on. American Honda is extending the powertrain warranty to cover repairs related to engine misfire (that triggers DTCs P0301 through P0304) to 8 years with unlimited mileage from the original date of purchase and has settled a class action based on this remedial measure. This warranty extension does not apply to any vehicle that has ever been declared a total loss or sold for salvage by a financial institution or insurer, or has a branded or similar title under any state’s law.

BACKGROUND
American Honda is announcing a powertrain warranty extension as a result of a settlement of a class action captioned, Soto et al.v. American Honda Motor Co., Inc., Case No. 3:12-cv-1377-SI (N.D. Cal.).
The piston rings on certain cylinders may rotate and align, which can lead to spark plug fouling. This can set DTCs P0301 No. 1 cylinder misfire detected, P0302 No. 2 cylinder misfire detected, P0303 No. 3 cylinder misfire detected, P0304 No. 4 cylinder misfire detected, and cause the MIL to come on.
American Honda is extending the powertrain warranty to cover repairs related to engine misfire (that triggers DTCs P0301 through P0304) to 8 years with unlimited mileage from the original date of purchase and has settled a class action based on this remedial measure.
This warranty extension does not apply to any vehicle that has ever been declared a total loss or sold for salvage by a financial institution or insurer, or has a branded or similar title under any state’s law.

CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
Owners of affected vehicles were sent a class action settlement notice regarding this warranty extension starting in October 2013.
Before doing work on a vehicle, verify its eligibility by doing an iN VIN status inquiry.
Refer customers seeking information about settlement benefits to www.enginemisfiresettlement.com, or instruct them to call 888-888-3082.
DIAGNOSIS
1. Connect the HDS and check for the following DTCs: P0301 No. 1 Cylinder Misfire Detected, P0302 No. 2 Cylinder Misfire Detected, P0303 No. 3 Cylinder Misfire Detected, P0304 No. 4 Cylinder Misfire Detected.
Are any of these DTCs stored?
YES – Go to step 2.
NO – Stop. This bulletin does not apply. Continue with normal troubleshooting.
2. Remove and check the spark plug(s) on the affected cylinders (example: if P0301 is stored, check the spark plug on cylinder No. 1).
Are the spark plug(s) fouled?
YES – Proceed to Step 3.
NO – Stop. This bulletin does not apply. Continue with normal troubleshooting.
3. For 2011 Odyssey only: Check the PCM software version P/N located above the PGM FI Data List.

NOTES
- Before removing the rod caps, use a grease pencil or suitable marking pen to mark each cap and its corresponding connecting rod with the cylinder number it came from.
- Do not confuse the existing marking on the side of the connecting rod and rod cap with a cylinder number. They are just manufacturing marks referring to the size of the big end of the rod.
- Installing a rod cap incorrectly will result in engine knock and/or engine failure. Remove and mark one rod assembly at a time to make sure it is assembled correctly.
- When torqueing the rod cap bolts, refer to the service information for details.
- Click HERE to go to the Tech2Tech® video “Tips When Working with Fracture Rods”.
50. Visually inspect all the connecting rod bearing for signs of damage.
NOTES
- If your fingernail catches on a scratch or groove in the bearing, replace it. Pictured are normal reusable rod bearings after about 35,000 miles. Some discoloration is normal and does not require replacement.
- If the bearings look like they must be replaced, contact your DPSM for authorization.
51. Cylinder Wall Inspection. If vertical scratches are noted in the cylinder wall, refer to Job Aid Using Cylinder Wall Inspection Tool and or Tech2Tech “Using Cylinder Wall Inspection Tool”.
NOTE
Do not use finger nail or pencil lead to determine if engine block is usable. Light to moderate scratches that are detected with your finger nail will pass the inspection when using the cylinder wall inspection tool.
- If the engine block is good, go to PISTON CLEANING PROCEDURE and clean the appropriate piston.
- If the engine block is no good, replace the engine block. The block comes with updated pistons. This bulletin no longer applies. You must obtain DPSM authorization and refer online to Engine Removal and Installation to reinstall the engine.
Piston Cleaning and Ring Replacement Procedure
1. Remove the piston rings from the piston using a ring expander. Be careful not to damage the piston.
2. Spray the piston head and piston ring grooves thoroughly with Honda throttle plate cleaner.
3. While holding the piston upright in your left hand, take the piston ring groove cleaner tool in your right hand and line up the cleaner tool guides with the second (middle) piston ring groove.
4. Press the handle on the piston ring groove cleaner tool and slide the cleaning bit onto the appropriate piston ring grooves.
5. Once the cleaning bit is in the appropriate ring grooves of the piston, make sure the tool handle clicks in to place.
NOTE
There is only one notch on the tool for the handle to engage.
6. Hold the piston steady and rotate the tool counter-clockwise five to six times to remove any carbon deposits in the piston ring grooves. Do not rotate the tool clockwise.
NOTE
You can watch this procedure in the Tech2Tech segment “How to Clean Piston Ring Grooves”.
7. Remove the piston groove cleaning tool and clean off the carbon from the tool bit.
8. Finish cleaning the piston with throttle plate cleaner and the nylon brush. Do not use a steel wire brush.
NOTE
Below are some examples of before and after pictures. Depending on mileage and running conditions, the pistons will achieve different levels of cleanliness.
9. Install the piston rings as shown.
NOTE
The first (top) ring has a 1R manufacturing mark and the second (middle) ring has an 2R manufacturing mark. The manufacturing marks must be facing upward.
10. Rotate the rings in their grooves to make sure they do not bind.
11. Position the ring end gaps as shown.
NOTE
If the ring gaps are not positioned correctly, excessive blowby may occur.
12. Apply new engine oil to the piston, the inside of the piston ring compressor, and the cylinder bore.
NOTE
Cylinder wall honing is NOT required for this repair.
13. Install the piston/connecting rod assembly into the cylinder bore with the arrow on top of the piston facing the timing belt side of the engine.
NOTE
Be careful not to damage the cylinder wall when installing the piston.
14. Set the piston in the ring compressor, and position the piston in the cylinder based on the rod/cap marks that you made in step 49.
15. Set the ring compressor on the piston bore, then push the piston in with your hands.
16. Stop after the ring compressor pops free, and check the connecting rod-to-rod journal alignment before pushing the piston into place.
17. Measure the diameter of the connecting rod bolts to determine if they need replacement. Calculate the difference in diameter between point A and point B. It should not be more than 0–0.1 mm (0–0.004 in).
18. Apply new oil to the connecting rod bolt threads and flanges. Torque the bolts to 20 N•m (14 lb-ft) then tighten the connecting rod bolts an additional 90 degrees.
19. Reinstall the remaining components in the reverse order of removal.
20. Replace spark plugs 1–4.
21. Replace the oil filter and refill all fluids.
22. Do the idle learn procedure.
