WEIRD Parasitic Drain: NPR Repair! (2017 Honda CRV: HDS Programming)

Recalls are for safety related issues. This wouldn’t come close qualifying. Also no one is perfect. Notice the scenario to cause the problem was very specific. No engineer is gonna plan for infinite scenarios lol.

"How did people survive without all these systems and assistance?" Very damned easily, I can assure you! There is no need for any of them except ABS, which is a wonderful safety feature. Once again, cars should be direct/hard-wired and have as few options/complications as possible. Two computers maximum: one for the fuel injection and one for the ABS. Done. Back to good cars...

[@robkipa]

Nice! Reminds me of a W221 chassis Mercedes where the window stopped working. Window motor tested good and could be energized manually. Turns out the door control module needed a software update! As soon as the update applied, a relay in the module clicked, and the window could be operated again. Insanity, but keeps things interesting...

[@kevin9c1]

Yes, that is a good example. In fact I have a W221 and haven't checked my door module software version but I also haven't had that issue.

I write computer code including diagnostic software, THIS is a classic example of what you get when programmers write diagnostic software rather than have the end user guide the process because the programmer and the end user come at diagnostic from a different point of view. The programmer says, "I can give you ALL of this", and the end user wants to start with a very few options that fan out so you can drill down to the section you need. I have to say this software represents the worst of diagnostic code... You did well.. IMHO.

I’m an IT Admin and we acquired a new contract with a Honda dealership. We built the network and Domain from ground up. Tech laptops are locked down big time (like any good networks). I had to figure how to allow these Honda programs, services, and processes through laptop, WiFi, 3 layers switches, and edge Firewall. It was different for Windows 7, 8, and 10. The 1st laptop I put on an “island” and allowed mostly all traffic. I got it to work. However, this was a temp fix for one laptop. I suggested this laptop would be the only laptop with these programs. That was shot down. Through trial, error, testing, repeat, and lots of coffee, I wrote a script for Windows 7. Win8 and 10, was the same way but I had a good foundation to tweak the scripts. Man, it was a project for sure.

That is an absolute bitch. It includes multiple updates using the Hds not using the J253 for rewrite, but using the ECU reprogramming, which is a new way of doing things Honda ditched the j2534 rewrite for the newer cars only thing I use that for is the pgm-fi software update recall on the pilots, passports, ridgelines and odysseys.

Ugh, I hate iHDS. About the only time I ever have to use it is in registering the VIN when an SRS module is replaced in 21+ Civics and 22+ Accords. I was getting worried you weren't going to reset the VSA! It won't always cause issues straight away; inevitably it will wait until it's back with the customer again, then you'll get Traction Control Disabled, Lane Departure Unavailable, Forward Collision Unavailable messages on the dash, and just about every trouble light on. Fun times! Extended battery disconnects can cause this as well. Toyota and Honda both have battery disconnect checklists to go through. I'm suuure all the parts stores know about it! ;)

Great repair Ivan. I enjoyed the learning curve with the less-than-optimal iHDS UI.

Also, on the iHDS, When you do an ALL DTC check, the ALL DTC CLEAR button won't illuminate for a bit afterwards. The DTC CLEAR button is useless and tedious, as you nearly found out before it froze.

Ivan, I just watched Part I and Part II of your videos on the Honda. NitPicking: you are inconsistent in describing the customer's shut down sequence between Part I and Part II. In Part I the daughter shut off the car, then pressed the parking brake button. In this video you describe the sequence as Press the parking brake button until it engages (2-3 seconds), then shut off the car.

Why not throw every available update at the vehicle while the software is paid for? Especially the PGM-FI, as this vintage CR-V had a few reflashes for poor warmup/heat, and fuel dilution of the oil They've been developing pretty bad oil consumption as they age (reminiscent of the low tension rings on the Toyota 2AZ) 🙄

Hi Ivan . Imagine having this system in all the military vehicles during ww11 General Paton’s Army would come to a stand still . Yes keep it simple.

[@eli310]

arent you still back at the same .066 amp drawn?

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

66mA goes down to 11mA after half an hour is GOOD. The bad draw was 350mA when the eBrake was applied by holding the button for 3 seconds 😁

[@kenfromsilverdale5675]

It looks like you interrupted the program while it was displaying all the stored codes (yellow bars), and I'm assuming that caused the issue you ran into.

[@fartinapaperbag7965]

Can the software not be installed onto a USB?, that saves your laptop memory.

[@DAVIDALD49]

Did it use a lot of memory or do you mean HDD space?

[@jonwillfixit]

Way to Crack off them videos! I watch the complete Porsha series also 👊🏻

[@akdenyer]

I wonder if that software would work with a Autel Maxi sys Ultra VCI? I have sent them the question.

[@additudeobx]

Honda should offer two days for $45 because it takes a lot of time to install and download the software. Most folks doing one day subscriptions are probably first timers, so the need to setup and install the software.

[@-_Robert_-]

How the Honda is fixed by GM software? Isn't Japanesee truck?

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Where is GM software? 😆

[@peintiumsix8259]

Good as always.Thanks

[@raymondreiff8170]

That's a little strange because our 2020 Civic Sport Sedan with the 2 liter engine takes 4.4 qts of engine oil it's not GDI or turbo charged I guess it's only important for these to last a long time 🤫

[@DanielSokol-i1i]

Job well done thank you

[@edthompsom9368]

The ridiculousness of modern cars cannot be overstated...

[@dustcommander100]

Thst was funny - do TPMS calibration 3 times..... My wife's 2019 CR-V has a button to press for that - must be required a lot! Oh, there are no tire pressure sensors.... It counts revolutions and compares the data to learned data, with a deflated tire tirning more slowly. Like a 2004 Buick.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Deflated tire will actually turn faster 😉

[@dustcommander100]

@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics Oops! Didn't know that! Learn something every day!

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

@@dustcommander100 Well think about it...underinflated tire is effectively a smaller diameter!

[@dustcommander100]

@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics My memory failed me on this. It seems I heard or read that the underinflated tire would turn slower, and in support of that, I theorized that the underinflated tire could be considered to approximate a track on one side of a dozer - with the circumference staying approximately the same (steel belts and all), but having additional frictional losses as it flexed.

These downloadable programs work better on older laptops than new ? which windows system is on your laptop?

[@lewiskelly14]

You should put part 2 in the title - i had no idea this was part of a another video

[@andrescastro4836]

Hello Ivan. Once again my 2000 Grand Cher says Hi! looking better by the hour. I agree with Jose Silveira and others. Cheers from Comox Valley to you all.😊
