Update (I posted this in another thread too): I disconnected and reconnected the battery at 1am earlier this year when the issue first arose. Noticed mid August that it seemed to be right to the second (where it had been drifting a few seconds a week), but the date shows today as 29th March...

I disconnected and reconnected the battery at 1am earlier this year when the issue first arose. Noticed mid August that it seemed to be right to the second (where it had been drifting a few seconds a week), but the date shows today as 29th March 2003 in 'GPS information' of the hidden menu...

Found an official pic in the Workshop Manual - it shows the wear indicator in the calliper overhaul diagram, strangely not mentioned in the pad inspection and replacement section. Thanks again Stelllamon.

Yep, 5 digits. Each number leads to the letters C - O - D - E and then (hopefully) music on the fifth. If you haven't got a code, get the serial number by turning the radio off, then hold 1 and 6 while you turn it on. I used freecarradiocodes.com and entered my serial number, got the code an...

Thanks. :)

It can only go on the inside - it's on the pad with the clip that goes inside the piston. Question is, should it be top or bottom as you look at the caliper - they're left and right handed presumably for a reason but will fit on either side of the car.

Just fitted front brake pads and discs on my 2009 Accord Tourer 2.2 iDTEC 150hp (single pot, 296mm discs). The two pads that clip inside the calliper pistons appear to be handed - there's a wear indicator (or are they anti-squeal springs?) on one side of the inner edge. Can anyone confirm...

To see the GPS information page, press and hold Cancel, Map/Guide and Menu for 5 seconds, select 'Detail (sic) Information & Setting', then 'GPS Information'.

Update: The papers are reporting that this problem probably happened on the 1st January because of an overflow in a signed 32 bit register (ie 1 bit for the sign and 31 bits for the number) where the max value is 2147483647. This runs into problems beyond the 31st December 2021 at 23:59 which...

There a few threads about this issue. It does indeed seem that the 'computer' on the passenger side window switch board performs all these functions. I took mine apart and cleaned all contacts with contact cleaner and re a s s embled (this forum doesn't like A double S) and all works fine. Make...

Same here; been fine for the past 5 years since doing that.

I'd try cleaning the contacts in the ABS sensor plugs and brushing the muck out of the ABS rings on the hubs. They live in an area which gets a lot of dirt build-up.

Before trying to remove the board completely, try cleaning the gold plated pads on the board where the window switch makes contact- worked for me.

Just noticed today that my clock is an hour fast. Checking the GPS Information page, clock is correct but date is showing 19th May 2002. Looks like this erroneous date (it's January 2nd) is causing it to adjust to BST on the radio display. Any ideas?
