the dashboard lights, speedometer, gas gauge, cruise control not working. The dash lights are flickering. Please - what is wrong with my car? Honda wants $100 to diagnose. I am 10 days past warranty. 2012 Accord sedan v6

 

What year is your car? Also, 4 or 6 cylinder, sedan or coupe, and trim level (e.g., LX, DX, etc.)?

 

it is a 2012 V6 sedan EXL

 

Please tell me it is a fuse??? I looked at fuse chart, I do not see a reference to dashboard lights, speedometer or gas gauge.

 

I moved your posts to its own separate thread.

Let me see if I can find any service bulletins regarding your model year car for the issue. I will take a look at the circuit diagram too. I will try to get back to you shortly.

 

I just remember what this may be due to.

The gauges and indicators are part of the multiplex integrated control system. The ECM/PCM probably lost communication with the gauge control module.

You can try a battery cable reset (to reset the multiplex control system).

Honda has two different methods for the battery cable reset.

1. One method is to disconnect the negative cable (disconnect negative first) and then positive cable. Then connect them together with a jumper wire for 15 minutes.-- Do not touch the battery terminals. You'll need the radio's anti-theft code afterward.

The 15 minute reset doesn't require turning the ignition ON, etc.

2. Honda has a variation of the battery cable reset which requires turning the ignition on and off; but, only requires 10 minutes. This video is the 10 minute method.

 

Redbull thank you so much. I really need it to be a simple fix, such as a fuse.

 

Hi, see the previous post I just made. I am pretty sure that is the issue. I helped someone on another forum before on the same issue (but, I go by a different username there); and it was the resolution.

 

I will try this. Do you know of a fuse that would cause this?
It acts like a plug in is very loose, flickering, other times, just black.

 

I don't understand the 'Jump wire'.
Can I simply unhook battery, then hook up again?
