    Reoccurring Fault Code

    The fault indicates an internal memory error in the ECU. This could be failing EEPROM/RAM inside the ECU or otherwise - like any other computer, ECUs can and will fail over time.

    VSA! Help!

    It could also be the brake pedal switch, this will throw a VSA light (!) as well. It's common on older cars and it may need a clean. The VSA isn't *that* sensative to be fair and it constantly re-trims its setting as you drive.

    Pulsing noise/catching brakes

    Great - so now you need to do the passenger side and see if that eliminates the uneven braking and then noise. If the pads have been against the rotor for sometime and are freed, you'll find they are noise for a few miles as they re-bed in again. So the noise could just be the pads re-bedding again.

    Pulsing noise/catching brakes

    Yes, there's should be NO drag with the calipers off. The only drag you'll find will be from the friction of the wheel hub, CV and driveshaft bearing and the drag of the gearbox fluid (***uming that it's in neutral). It'll all seem pretty obvious when you have it up in the air. But there should...

    VSA! Help!

    Yes, it can "reset" itself. Basically, when in the mud/snow/ice, if it detects multiple activations in a short peroid, it ***umes that they system itself is broken and throws a light. However, if the issue resolves itself after 5 cycles of the unit (i.e. power-on/off) the car will ***ume that...

    Pulsing noise/catching brakes

    Just strip them off and carefully re-build each side back up. Use the right grease and make sure the calipers are free to float. Also, check for wheel for spin with both the caliper on and off the car (i.e. see how much the pads are dragging on the rotor)

    Pulsing noise/catching brakes

    Ok, after re-reading the topic again, listening to the sound you've provided. In summary when you replaced the front discs + pads the noise went away for approximately 1 month. After this time the sound returned. So, I'd be focussing my effort on the front of the car. Let's look at what's...

    Parking Sensor woes

    Also these are the one I've used before. Others go them cheaper on ebay, but these come with a lifetime warranty http://www.parkingsensors.co.uk/product/dolphin-audio-parking-sensors-dps400

    Parking Sensor woes

    If it's just a sensor, perhaps you could get a breakers one? To tell which one is "gone" put the car into reverse with the ignition on but the engine off (obviously) so that the sensors are active. Put your ear right up to the each sensor and you should here "clicking" from each sensor, which...

    Remote Fob?

    Although this makes it look really simple! :) http://www.wikihow.com/Program-Factory-Honda-Acura-Remote-Key-Fobs I suppose reading this is what I would have done with the HDS, as I said it took 5-6 times to get it to stick. It was probably cycling the power to the alarm. I'd give it a go! :)

    Remote Fob?

    Not sure Pete - I've never done it this way. I've only used the HDS which I bought as a cheap Chinese clone and works ok. There is probably no harm in trying though if you have the fob. But be careful, we use a different alarm system to those in the US (if you're googling). Our Accords are build...

    Stiff clutch pedal

    Welcome along! It does twist very slightly but only on a sideways force, straight-down and it's pretty solid. The extra stiffness could be related to the need for grease! What I suggest is that you flush the clutch fluid and grease the slave push-pin head. It's probably never been done since...

    Reoccurring Fault Code

    HDS = Honda Diagnostic System. It can be used to clean/upgrade the firmware of a ECU. It's Honda computer that will talk to the computer of the car. You'll generally only find it at dealers.

    Reoccurring Fault Code

    Is this petrol or diesel? Did you do a re-flash of the car?

    Reoccurring Fault Code

    Ok, the P0606 is indicating an ECU fault. There's nothing specific for fixing this other than trying a software upgrade (via the HDS) or a replacement ECU :o (the code indicates an internal memory fault) For the ABS/VSA quitting communication, this is normal when is diagnostic mode (i.e. when...
