Excellent source of info, thanks!

 

Honda has a new recall as of April 24,2013 for the Fit Sport.
-13-040 Non-compliance recall: VSA system software update-
Decided to post since I didnt see it here in this thread.
It is for the 2012-2013 Sports VSA system. A non-compliance VSA software update.
If you havent received a letter from Honda about the recall and are qurious if it is affected I can do VIN inquiries to see if your fit is affected. All it is, is a software update and VSA sensor neutral position learning. I've done a few and it takes usually about 30 minutes to complete but your dealership may need the car for longer to give flexability in their schedule. Anyways, just thought I would let you guys know!

 

^^Thanks!

 

There are a couple of threads about this a couple weeks back.

Any way to find out if this applies to Canadian ge8s? Our vins start with LUC but are essentially the same as the usdm fits.

 

Great post clicq. Can you tell us how you found them?

 

Any TSB's for paint quality?

Mine is splotchy. Not even high km. 2009 fit LX (upgraded to sport with Mugen package)

 

Hello everyone i have a 2013 Honda fit with 3000 miles on it and have a issue with the automatic transmission. The torque converter seems to be locking up early under low acceleration. I bought it used with 264 miles on it however it has a salvage title and the dealership will not warrant anything on it. It had been in a front end collision and scraped down the right side so all damage was cosmetic, so i think. The hood was replaced and the front clip and front right/passenger side quarter panel and air bags were replaced.
So my issue starts after it warms up. It shifts normally and smooth, but when it shifts into the next gear the torque converter locks up, causing the rpms to slowly decrease until it can make enough speed to shift to the next gear. None of this happens below 3 thousand rpm. As it warms up it becomes less noticeable. No issues above 35 mph. Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions.

 

This is normal behavior. The torque converter will lock in any gear under light acceleration, after the engine is warmed up. It results in a busy automatic transmission. By warmed up, this seems to be when the engine-cold light turns off; the engine and transmission really aren't at operating temperature yet.

Still, this locking/unlocking should be subtle, most don't realize it's happening. If it's rough, I'd recommend getting someone to drive it that's familiar with Fit behavior. There may be damage to the transmission. Here's a link to the shop manual diagnostics for an '09 (should be similar). It's 25 pages and not for the weak of heart.

 

Thanks for the quick reply, one of my friends has a 2010 and it does not really do it at all. mine also acts completely normal in sport mode. I have done a flush with dw-1 to see if maybe at some point someone put the wrong fluid in and it did not seem to help. Also test drove a new one and it did not react the same. I run an auto repair shop and am familiar with transmissions but have never had one act quite like this. I know it has a constantly lock TC. I have read on this forum that some people have had the ecu flashed. I called the dealer and they want 93 dollars just to sit in it. Im ok with that but am looking to get an idea of whats going on with it before i take it in. Thanks again for the help.

 

There is a temperature sensor on the transmission...

 

2009 fit mt my work horse .... 168k .... i have to do most of these service bulletins =/ ....

 

So, same problem as others have had, on my 2011 Fit. A/C fan speeds 1,2,3 don't work, speed 4 does. I am way past warranty and figured Honda was going to be of no help and charge me accordingly, so I took it somewhere else. They replaced the resistor, and it worked.... for a bit. Now it's not working. I did research and came across the TSB issue for this problem. It needs the blower motor as well. Seeing there's a TSB I want to go to Honda now and ask for a goodwill repair but paper evidence helps. And of course their TSBs are state secrets. Anyone able to help in some way? Is it enough to have the TSB number? which I believe, from alldatadiy.com is 09-097 issued Aug 2012.
