Re: Battery reset?

I'm sure it is to do with the SOC. This was talked about on another thread and it was related to the SOC dropping to zero. I'll see if I can dig it up. H

Seconds later, I get a green light and the car is a total dog! The rev stays at 3800 rpm or so and car just isn't moving...so I think I'm in low, but I'm not. By the next light, 1/2 mile and less than a minute later, the SoC is full...eight (8) bars..I never saw that before...always maxed out at seven.

The car: HCHII, 3400 miles, March '08 purchase (I'm not far from work!)

if you had a couple more people in the car it wouldnt have recovered so quickly, and if you were on a hill the car wouldnt have moved. This condition that i experience on nearly every hot day is what honda calls normal operating for the battery.

just wait until this happens to you pulling out onto a road and you cant accelerate and there is oncoming traffic, too many people here are saying they will just put up with this behavior from the car. This is insane, the car has a problem and honda knows it. they even call it a PROBLEM on techline knowledge base article 15367.

start getting vocal about this, people are stuck with cars that dont work and its only a matter of time until someone gets hurt.

I note that you have posted several post regarding the upgrade you did to your nav system (see below) and a possible hack to the HVAC system. Is it possible that your current problems are related to these issues?

Re: Upgrading audio in Nav model?
I have an 07 with the navi and i just replaced the front 4 speakers. It made a huge difference. I am going to be purchasing a small powered sub woofer unit that installs under the seat to fill in the low end a little and then replace the rear speakers.

One concern is that if the music is up loud enough to enjoy when the navigation prompts are spoken the front speakers attenuate but the rears don't and you cannot hear the spoken prompts.

the head unit is an alpine in the navi equipped cars, which is why i purchased the option, so i felt even less compelled to install amps. It sounds a ton better with just new component speakers.

As for the AC system the rear defrost override is moot as all the computers have been updated or reset by a dealer since then. I wish it were that easy though.
