Yes - see Check System - Engine Symbol!

and Check System ON glowplug indicator flashing

I used to have this regularly. A software problem was the route cause. It took a helpful dealer and an unhelpful Honda only about 11 months to come up with a software fix....... which seems to have done the job.

Maybe a software glitch? Perhaps disconnecting the battery for a minute may help? (ECU reset). When did you buy the car? I got a Dec/06 iCTDI, not a single problem with engine electronics so far

And I had old shaped Civic .. and 2nd hand earlier shaped Accord - no problems on Civic, and very little on Accord, and those only at over 100 thousand miles.

Seriously though - there is a known bug that causes this fault - and a software fix available. Details in the threads already referenced.

I have had this problem for several weeks now at first start up. It doesn't do it at subsequent start ups. The check system - brake symbol shows only at first start up. It has been into the dealer twice now for them to investigate without success. Both times a low battery fault is supposed to have been the cause, even though I haven't had any problem in that respect. A software download was supposed to correct the problem. On the second visit they had the vehicle for the day to investigate and discuss with HUK. I am told that a second software download plus the battery being charged had cured the problem. It hasn't and I have referred it back to the dealer. Interestingly - or not as the case may be - the warning message didn't show one morning after another warning message was up (door open as the good lady was getting in the car at the time) when starting but it did show at next start up after 9 miles or so.

There is a fault there but it seems no-one knows the answer at the moment. I'll report back after it has been in again.

I'd be interested to know if there are others experiencing this problem and what if any solutions there are.

See the threads referenced in the second post in this thread. I did have a problem (which sounds slightly different) and after 11 months a software fix was applied which seems to have done the trick. I had to live with it for the 11 months though, which was very annoying.

Thanks 3rd Honda. Have looked at the threads and whilst they refer to a Check System error message they aren't the same. The software update has supposedly been done twice in the last week. My dealer (deVries) is as helpful as they can be but don't seem to be getting much help from Swindon.
