Service bulletins
What Honda told its dealers about the 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid: known faults, fixes and updates.
| Bulletin | Summary |
|---|---|
| 11010122 | Service Bulletin - A false pulse detection by the EVAP leak check module (ELCM) pressure sensor, triggered by a specified value due to a near full fuel level. The PCM determines an abnormality and stores the DTC. |
| 11009202 | Service Bulletin - A false pulse detection by the EVAP leak check module (ELCM) pressure sensor, triggered by a specified value due to a near full fuel level. The PCM determines an abnormality and stores the DTC. |
| 11009108 | Owner Notification Letter - During manufacturing, certain engine blocks may have had the mounting surface of the crankshaft position sensor improperly machined. This may lead to a misfire under certain conditions, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminating or, potentially, damaging the catalytic converter. |
| 11006536 | Owner Notification Letter - Your vehicle may be equipped with an improperly functioning on-board emission-related diagnostic system that violates California and Federal standards and regulations. While transitioning from hybrid mode (engine on) to EV mode, a software programming error results in the PGM-FI ECU resetting and inappropriately erasing stored memory data in the PGM-FI ECU. In some cases, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) may be set as a result. |
| 11005730 | Service Bulletin - While driving at highway speeds, customers may find that the steering wheel does not automatically return to center. |
| 11000150 | Owner Notification Letter - A software programming error may cause miscommunication between the main and sub-CPU systems. As a result, the main Central Processing Unit (CPU) determines this as an Integrated Control Module (ICM) failure, which prevents the grille from properly closing when the vehicle is turned off. This results in the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminating and DTC P060A being set. |
| 11000140 | Service Bulletin - Some customers may experience the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) illuminating when rapidly decelerating from a high vehicle speed due to fluid aeration occurring in the e-CVT under high-g rapid deceleration. |
| 10253307 | Dealer Message - American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (AHM) is searching for certain 2023-2024 Accord FHEVs & CR-V FHEVs with a customer complaint of the Emissions System Warning Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) on with DTC P2101 (Throttle Actuator "A" Control Motor Circuit Range/Performance) stored. Customer may experience the vehicle going into limp home mode. To better understand the cause of this condition, AHM would like to collect specific parts from the vehicle prior to you attempting a repair of any kind. |
| 10247625 | Techline - If you have a customer with a CR-V Hybrid/Accord Hybrid with DTC P0700 (Transmission Control System MIL Request) and check engine light is illuminated), they may notice a slight vibration (misfire) from the engine. |
| 10244196 | Service Bulletin - Affected vehicles may be equipped with an incorrectly machined engine block at the crankshaft position sensor (CKP) mounting location. Vehicles may experience a no start condition, low speed rough idle, engine RPM hunting, or have the following DTCs set: P0017 (Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor B and Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Correlation) and P0339 (Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Circuit Intermittent Interruption). This condition may affect a vehicles compliance with California and Federal emissions standards and regulations. |
| 10243741 | Service Bulletin - Some customers may experience the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) illuminating when rapidly decelerating from a high vehicle speed due to fluid aeration occurring in the e-CVT under high-g rapid deceleration. |
| 10239704 | Service Bulletin - Affected vehicles may be equipped with an incorrectly machined engine block at the crankshaft position sensor (CKP) mounting location. Vehicles may experience a no start condition, low speed rough idle, engine RPM hunting, or have the following DTCs set: P0017 (Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor B and Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Correlation) and P0339 (Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Circuit Intermittent Interruption). This condition may affect a vehicles compliance with California and Federal emissions standards and regulations. |
| 10239702 | Dealer Message - Affected vehicles may be equipped with an incorrectly machined engine block at the crankshaft position sensor (CKP) mounting location. Improper manufacturing of the engine block at this location may prevent accurate CKP measurements leading to misfire and potential catalyst deterioration. This condition may affect a vehicles compliance with California and Federal emissions standards and regulations. |
| 10236570 | Dealer Message - American Honda is announcing a stop sale and emissions recall for certain 2023 Accord Hybrid and CR-V Hybrid vehicles. When the vehicle transitions from hybrid mode (engine on) to EV mode the FI-ECU may reset due to a software programming error and results in stored memory data in the PGM-FI ECU being inappropriately erased. |
| 10236569 | Service Bulletin - While transitioning from Hybrid mode (engine on) to EV mode, the PGM-FI ECU adjusts the crank position for best location of engine start. A software programming error during this transition results in the PGM-FI ECU resetting and inappropriately erasing stored memory data in the PGM-FI ECU. In some cases, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) may be set as a result. |
| 10234578 | Product Update - A software programming error may cause miscommunication between the main and sub-CPU systems. As a result, the main Central Processing Unit (CPU) determines this as an Integrated Control Module (ICM) failure, which prevents the grille from properly closing when the vehicle is turned off. This results in the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminating and DTC P060A being set. |
| 10232249 | Service Bulletin - Due to a false detection logic in the multipurpose camera software, the LKAS warning light comes on when driving in reverse. |
| 10232247 | Service Bulletin - A software programming error may cause miscommunication between the main and sub CPU systems. As a result, the main CPU determines this as an ICM failure which prevents the grille from properly closing when the vehicle is turned off. |
