I wouldn't worry too much.
Very good! So your saying I shouldn't be worried that a fault that occured at 0 mph and 0 rpm has given a reading of 93 mph and 9600 rpm! That is something to be worried about, because if my engine fails they would then turn round and say well the computer says this when the bloody car wasn't moving!!! I can only but imagine how difficult it would be to prove to Honda as my dealer wouldn't let me phone the person who was with me who would have confirmed where we were, what the weather was like and the fact we had been sat parked up for that length of time.

The recording the speed is interesting, do you reckon the authorities could access that in the case of an accident and use it against the driver?
I would think they could access it, but as i've said above Honda could then screw us all if we ever have an engine failure as they are giving wrong readings! To say it could be bad data from a bad connection will be no go if the engine fails for some reason
