Default 2008 Honda Accord EX-L V6 HOW TO TURN OFF VCM?

I would like to turn off the variable cylinder management temporary. My dealer says... not possible. Can´t he turn it off with his Honda Diagnostic System Tester?

Can you tell us why you would want to turn it off? It would most likely need an ECU reflash of some sort to turn it off, it's most likely a software code.

I'm guessing that you just got the car.

If the VCM activating and deactivating is annoying to you, just give it a little time.

Their seems to be a magic combination of smoothing out during the breakin period and your getting used to it.

After a couple of weeks, you won't notice it except for the ECO light on the tach.
