Ok,
So this is a little jumping the gun, but.... I bought a 2008 Honda
Accord EX Navi with V-6 and Automatic tranny. This comes with the VCM
(variable cylinder management). First I have to say that I really
like the car. The looks are great and it's fun to drive with all of
the voice activation and the blue tooth is just amazing to make calls
on. The problem though is that when I first got it, it had the tire
pressure light on... the dealer stated they would check the tire
pressure when I came back in ( I was set on driving it home that
night, learn from my mistakes...) turns out there was a valve stem
sensor that was bad, it was under warrenty but had to be replaced none
the less. Next was on the following day I also noted when I started
it that the VSA and check engine lights were on. I shut off the
engine and restarted it and the VSA reset but the check engine light
remained on. I could tell the car was running a bit rough too.... I
took it back immediately and they found a missfire code. They reset
it and all was fine and the car was back to running fine. Now about a
week later, tonight, the VSA and check engine light is back on... I
did some searching on the web and didn't see anyone else with this
issue so I thought I'd post mine incase there are others out there the
same as me. I plan on taking it back asap to have this looked at yet
again. I'm wondering if the VCM was released to early.
Unforturnatley I don't know of a way to disable this feature...
perhaps a better way to go is to buy the manual transmission so it
doesn't come with VCM... I don't know that this is related yet but
just seems suspicious. I bought mine at Brillance Honda in Crystal
Lake, Illinois. We'll see how they handle this... so far that have
been good. I'll post again here. If you want to email me feel
