Hi, I have a 2013 Honda Accord EX with 131K miles on it and I keep it well mainained but have an intermittent problem with the car going into limp mode where the car is limited to 35 mph and the picture shows the indicator lights and a code as being 03. When this occurs, I pull over and temporarily remove the negative terminal for a reset and can then drive on normally but it repeats the mode after a few days. My capable mechanic has tried resolving this and replaced a couple of sensors which worked for a month and the issue came back. His scanning tool and service data recommend replacing one of the computer$. A BlueDrive scan shows an 83-12 and an 85-01 code which were taken the next day and all other checks are green or within spec. Before I go to the dealer I'm hoping for some suggestions or ideas to help resolve this, otherwise hoping it's a software upgrade fix. Thanks in advance for any suggestions! Joe
