Check the iN VIN status for eligibility.
BACKGROUND
Under certain circumstances, the vehicle may experience driveability issues, which may result in DTCs P0300 (random
misfire detected), P0301 (No. 1 cylinder misfire detected), P0302 (No. 2 cylinder misfire detected), P0303 (No. 3
cylinder misfire detected), P0304 (No. 4 cylinder misfire detected), or P0172 (fuel system too rich) or a whirling noise
coming from the engine compartment.
NOTE
Check to see if the vehicle was repaired as stated in S/B 18-147. If a repair was completed as stated in S/B 18-147, see
CORRECTIVE ACTION to determine if further action is necessary.
To increase customer confidence, American Honda is extending the powertrain warranty on the camshafts, rocker arm
assemblies, and spark plugs from the original 5 years or 60,000 miles to 6 years with unlimited mileage from the original
sale date. The ECU and TCM software is covered under the vehicle's emissions warranty beyond 6 years. Check page
5 for further details.
This warranty extension will 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. This does not affect emission
warranties.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Based on certain driving patterns and environmental factors, the DTC's stated above may set or whirling noise may
occur.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
If misfire (P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304) or fuel system too rich (P0172) DTCs are set, do REPAIR
PROCEDURE A. If there is a whirling noise coming from the engine compartment, do REPAIR PROCEDURE B.
In some cases, misfire DTCs may return. If that happens, go to SPARK PLUG INSPECTION PROCEDURE.

REPAIR PROCEDURE A
1. Reset maintenance minder main code A. Refer to the service information.
2. Drain and refill the engine oil (3.4 quarts). Do not replace the oil filter.
3. Connect the i-HDS and click on the Body Electrical. From there, select HVAC and open Data List/Snapshot to
check if the A/C control unit has been replaced. One of three options will appear: Not Complete, Completed, or
Not Applicable.
•
If it reads Completed or Not Applicable, skip to step 5.
•
If it reads Not Complete, go to step 4.
4. Replace the climate control unit.
4.1. Remove the climate control unit and replace with the new unit. See service information for additional
instructions.
4.2. Install all parts in reverse order.
4.3. Run the self-diagnostics procedure with the i-HDS to make sure there are no problems in the system and
clear any HVAC system DTCs that might appear.
5. With the i-HDS, check to see if the PGM-FI and TCM software has been updated by using the J2534 rewrite
application.
•
If they are up to date, the procedure is complete.
•
If not, go to step 6.

windows, door locks, etc.) during the update.
•
Do not use the MongoosePro VCI tool.
7. Reset the throttle position learned values by referencing the throttle body removal and installation in the service
information, then do the PCM idle learn procedure. Refer to service information for additional instructions.
NOTE
For more information on the PCM idle learn procedure, see the Tech2Tech® video, "A Look at PCM Idle Learn".
SPARK PLUG INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. In some cases, the DTCs may return. If this happens, inspect the spark plugs.
•
If the spark plugs are OK, the procedure is complete. Continue with normal troubleshooting.
•
If the spark plugs are fouled, go to step 2.
2. Replace the spark plugs per service information and check for stored DTCs.
NOTE
Make sure to write down the stored DTCs on the R.O.
•
If the applicable DTCs do not return, the procedure is complete.
•
If the applicable DTCs return, this bulletin does not apply. Continue with normal troubleshooting.

REPAIR PROCEDURE B
If there is a whirling noise coming from the engine, follow the procedure below.
1. Warm up the engine by increasing the engine speed to 3,000 rpm for two fan cycles.
2. After the warm-up procedure is completed, let the car return to idle for 10 seconds.
3. After 10 seconds, slowly increase the engine speed up to 3500 rpm (this should take at least 20 seconds).
4. Once the engine speed reaches 3500 rpm, release the accelerator pedal and let the engine speed return to idle.
5. With the hood closed and inside the cabin, compare the audio file here to the noise heard.
•
If the noise is similar, continue to step 6.
•
If the noise is not similar, this bulletin does not apply. Continue with normal system troubleshooting.
6. Remove the cylinder head cover. See service information for additional instructions.
7. Compare the appearance of the camshaft lobes to the photo below.
•
If the camshafts appear similar to the no good photo, go to step 8.
•
If the camshafts appear similar to the good photo, this bulletin does not apply. Continue with normal system
troubleshooting.
8. Take a photo of the cam lobe, then follow the directions in the parts catalog when ordering the necessary parts.
NOTE
Please send photos of failed camshafts to [email protected] to receive approval and release
parts.

The following instructions are for replacement of the intake and exhaust camshafts and all rocker arm assemblies. This
is only if you have been approved by following the instructions in the parts catalog.
1. Relieve the fuel pressure and remove the high pressure fuel pump. Refer to the service information for additional
instructions.
2. Set the crankshaft to top dead center (TDC) for No. 1 cylinder. Refer to step 4 of the Camshaft Timing Inspection in
the service information.
3. Mark the timing chain at the punch marks on the exhaust and intake camshaft sprocket and VTC actuator as seen
below.

4. Raise the vehicle on a lift.
5. Remove the right front wheel and the engine undercover.
6. Remove the cam chain auto-tensioner (chain case) cover.
7. Slightly rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise to compress the auto-tensioner. Line up the hole in the lock and
auto-tensioner, then insert a 1.2 mm diameter lock pin.
8. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise back to TDC on the No. 1 cylinder to secure the lock pin in place.
9. Remove the camshaft chain auto-tensioner with the lock pin inserted.

10. Lower the vehicle.
11. Loosen the locknuts and adjusting screws.
Page 16 of 23
12. Remove the high pressure fuel pump base.
13. Remove the camshaft holder bolts, then remove the camshaft holders. To prevent damaging the camshafts, loosen
the bolts in sequence, two turns at a time.
Page 17 of 23
14. Lift up the cam chain, then carefully remove the intake camshaft followed by the exhaust camshaft.
NOTE
You must maintain tension on the cam chain while you do this.
15. Use a bungee cord to hold tension on the cam chain while you are replacing the camshafts.
16. When removing the camshaft holders, cam chain guide, and intake and exhaust camshaft, make sure to place them
in order of installation on a clean, padded workbench.
Page 18 of 23
17. Remove the rocker arm assembly, and install the new set. Refer to the service information for additional instructions.
Page 19 of 23
18. With the camshafts out of the engine, hold them with an open-end wrench and loosen the VTC actuator mounting
bolts on both camshafts.
19. Install the VTC actuators on the new camshafts.
NOTE
You may need an assistant to help you with this procedure.
20. Apply fresh engine oil to the new camshafts, and install.
Page 20 of 23

clear any HVAC system DTCs that might appear.
34. Reset maintenance minder main code A. Refer to the service information.
35. Drain and refill the engine oil (3.4 quarts). Do not replace the oil filter.
36. With the i-HDS, check to see if the PGM-FI and TCM software has been updated by using the J2534 rewrite
application.
•
If updated, the procedure is complete.
•
If not, continue with step 37.
