HONDA software updates

bonith · 02-20-2007, 09:02 PM

I just received a letter from Honda to improve the cold weather performance for the LAF (Linear Air Fuel ) sensor on the catalytic converter.
Is it the ECU update ??
I got a R18.

hi hello... im keeping an eye on this...

IMTHEPUNISHER · 02-21-2007, 03:02 AM

I just went to the my dealership last week, for my "freebie"-oil change, and asked if they could perform the ECU update(s). They informed me that there were none on '07 model R18's...which is contrary to what everybody on this forum says.

most of us CDN guys got it , they said it would help prevent the cold starts

i'm goin in next week to get it done, it's for most of the ppl who got their cars early

What do you mean by early?

aznchzexr · 02-21-2007, 12:57 PM

like when the civics first came out like Autumn/Winter of 2005 I beleive

NoMoreHonda · 02-21-2007, 02:10 PM

I just dropped off my car at the dealer for this issue.

i bought my car in December, 2005, and Canada!

so i guess like he said..

it's for ppl who got their civics in late 2005 or early 2006 in Canada.

i hope it improves my car getting on in the cold weather.

i fail to start the engine like 1-3 times a week.

no ecu updates here in US.

***Sleepy*** · 02-21-2007, 02:55 PM

Just got my letter today too. I think I have had the ECU already updated.

altomic · 02-21-2007, 05:14 PM

damb · 02-21-2007, 05:25 PM

By the way this is my second letter from Honda the first one was about cables under the passenger side (Airbag thing).

NightRider06 · 02-22-2007, 05:59 PM

dcloud · 02-22-2007, 06:14 PM

I got the letter as well. Bought my car Nov/2005. Getting the update done on Monday! Maybe a tire rotation and balance too.

bonith · 02-22-2007, 08:28 PM

It seem in Canada only...

**wing_gundam** · 02-22-2007, 08:49 PM

My car was built in Feb 06 and I bought it in April but it "needed" the upgrade. I went for it a couple weeks ago. No difference really. Car started before and starts now. But I guess theres a higher probability that it will. :)

No airbag prob or letter either.

SoFLACiViCSi06 · 02-23-2007, 01:37 AM

so is this update only for people in canada?
