P0219 ENGINE OVER-SPEED CONDITION

Funny DTC spotted while checking some Mk9 Civic with manual transmission.
There was only one DTC for all systems. I don't know why it's trouble code...
It was in PGM-FI and called P0219 ENGINE OVER-SPEED CONDITION. Whaaaaat? :-)

What's interesting it had freeze frame data!
(for obvious reasons all personal data was removed, you know, it's over-speed whatever it means)

Hope to get more info on this later as I forgot to save description of the DTC.

Rubber mats wear

This is how genuine Honda's mats will look after 40,000 km :-)

Automatic transmission

Manual transmission

And... that how it was at the beginning

45K Service


It's not exactly 45K service, because I did brake pads and fluid change while back (will post later) - saved a lot of money.
So, all that official Honda did it's oil change for 413 NIS ($111), oil not included.

Oil for this time I gave is Mobil 1 0W-30.

CTSHO005.2 Honda Steering Wheel Stalk Control Adaptor

This is another adapter example that you may need to connect aftermarket audio to wheel buttons and some more signals (dash light, reverse, parking brake, etc).

Link to http://www.ebay.com/itm/370765327954 - 39 GBP + 12 GBP (delivery).

This is a patch lead, PDF is here.

In default configuration it works as follows: it outputs resistance change depends on button pressed.
These are readings on KEY1 wire
Idle (nothing pressed)11.5 MOhm
189 kOhm (after 1st time pressed)
Volume Down22.00 kOhm
Volume Up16.43 kOhm
Seek Backward11.82 kOhm
Seek Forward8.58 kOhm
Middle (circle button)2.07 kOhm

I believe, you can change to voltage too just follow the instructions.

This is an adapter doc, PDF is here.




Wiring for Civic connectors.
Note that ACC signal is taken from 2nd connector both with CAN bus.




Let's open this sucker.

Main ICs are:
NXP TJA1040 - High speed CAN transceiver
Renesas Eelectronics R5F2123 - R8C Series 16 bit 3 kB RAM 64 kB Flash Microcontroller SMT
Fairchild FDS4953 - Dual 30V P-Channel PowerTrench MOSFET




Little man says hi!


Standby consumption.
When you first plug it, it will drain about 25-30mA for a few seconds and than falls into 3mA even when you send 12V to ACC.

The only addition I've made is adding original Honda's AUX 3 wires (on right) to it.
