I just tried this but all I managed was to do was to re set my fuel computer !

Can someone advise what is the starting point - Ignition off or Ignition on II before you start the sequence ? I tried both but could not get it to work either way.

Thanks

I also tried using Ignition I as a starting point and it still didn't work. At least I did not accidentally reset my fuel computer this time.

Nice to see this!
We also learned about this feature in TFD and it helped me when I had troubles with DTCs because of the aftermarket alarm that I installed...hence the alarm went out hehehe

I cannot get the procedure to work

Does it only work om mph-cars or non-OEM HID? Or do you need to be in a specific view on the boardcomputer?

Also step 5 seems to be incorrect since according to Honda you should tap the SEL/RESET button 4 times instead of three

here is how i do it.

Start with the light set to off not auto.

1: Push and hold the sel/reset button with left trigger finger(right trigger finger if using a LHD car)

2: Set lights to sidelights using right hand(Left if using a LHD car)

3. Turn the ignition to pos II using right hand(left if using LHD car).

4: Within 5 sec., turn the headlights OFF, then back to sidelight and OFF again using right hand(left if using LHD cart).

this info is also in the service manual and it is 3 times as i do a check before i send my car in for service.

5: Within 5 sec., release the SEL/RESET switch button, and then push and release the button three times repeatedly.

works for me.

Fixed, since i have OEM hid i had to perfom it using sidelight instead of dipped/main beam.

I have stock halogens but since i park in the garage they turn on when i put the car to pos II i use sidelights.
