Warranty Extension: MIL Comes On With DTCs P0301 Through P0304
(Supersedes 13-080, dated July 24, 2014, to revise the information marked by the black bars)
REVISION SUMMARY
• The layout was changed to one column for pages 1 through 3.
• The FRT was changed for replacing rings on cylinder No. 4.
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 through P0304 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.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Inspect the vehicle and, if necessary, clean the pistons, and replace the piston rings in the affected cylinders.

DIAGNOSIS
1. Connect the HDS to the vehicle and check for the
following DTCs: P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304.
• If any of these DTCs are stored, go to step 2.
• If none of these DTCs are stored, this bulletin
does not apply. Continue with normal
troubleshooting
4. Note which DTCs are stored in the vehicle.
• If the vehicle has one or more of the following
stored DTCs: P0301, P0302, P0303, go to
REPAIR PROCEDURE B to clean the pistons,
replace the piston rings on cylinders 1–3, and
replace the spark plugs on cylinders 1–4.
• If the vehicle has DTC P0304 with or without any
of the other three DTCs stored, go to REPAIR
PROCEDURE B to clean the pistons, replace the
piston rings on cylinders 1–4, and replace the
spark plugs on cylinders 1–4.
2. Check the PCM software and note if it is earlier
than shown below, then go to step 3.

does not apply. Continue with normal
troubleshooting.
• If this vehicle has any of the above DTCs, the
spark plug(s) are fouled, and the software is an
earlier version, go to REPAIR PROCEDURE A.
• If this vehicle has any of the above DTCs, the
spark plug(s) are fouled, and the software is a
current or later version, go to step 4.
NOTE: Below are examples of good and fouled
spark plugs.

PISTON CLEANING PROCEDURE
1. Remove the piston rings from the piston using a
ring expander. Be careful not to damage the piston.
4. Press the handle on the piston ring groove cleaner
tool and slide the cleaning bit onto the appropriate
piston ring grooves.

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.
12 of 15
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.
13-080
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”.
NOTE: Below are some examples of before and
after pictures. Depending on mileage and running
conditions, the pistons will achieve different levels
of cleanliness.
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.

9. Install the piston rings as shown.
NOTE: The first (top) ring has a 1D manufacturing
mark and the second (middle) ring has an SPR
manufacturing mark. The manufacturing marks
must be facing upward.
12. 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.
