Kind of like Windows safe mode. Allows you to run in a limited capacity in order to diagnose what the problem might be. I'm guessing that when the reflash was interrupted, either some of the code that was installed is not compatiable with what was already there or part of the code was erased. They should replace both the ECU and the OBDII port just to be on the safe side if the HDS cannot connect to the ECU. Hopefully, replacing the OBDII port does not involve replacing the harness as well..

Good luck on this one, bud. Personally, I'd be so far up the Service Manager's ass he'd think he was giving birth. At the very least, they'd be putting me in their nicest loaner until they resolved the problem. An S2000 comes to mind...

According to Honda, to replace the OBD port DOES require the COMPLETE replacement of the harness.
