I posted this on another forum but received no responses. I thought perhaps people here might have some thoughts.
I have a 2016 Civic EX with the sensing package. About three months after I bought the car, it was hit head on while I was standing at a light. The air bags didn?t deploy, but there was a lot of front-end damage, which a Honda repair shop said they fixed.
Fast forward to now. I noticed, as is typical with Civics, that one back rotor is starting to get slight groves in it. I've worked on other Civics I've owned, and I don't think much of the back brakes precisely because of this. To make it easer to work on the brakes, I bought a Foxwell 510 bidirectional scanner. It has a lot of ability to read OEM codes and allows service on the parking brake and the ABS system should I need to work on those components. I probably will only need it for the parking brake for this job.
I ran the OEM codes, and the thing lit up like a Christmas tree. No check engine light is on, but I get codes for things that may have been affected by the accident. For example, B0090-87 - no signal from left front impact sensor. U0416-68 VSA system malfunction. P2583-97 - Wave radar (could just be dirt the scanner said. It seems to be clean).
These are OEM codes and I'm not sure that they are supposed to turn a check engine light on. They haven't.
I'm not sure how I'm going to convince the Honda people to scan the codes without paying them. I'll try, but I just wondered if anyone here has any experience with problems indicated by these codes after an accident? By the way, I've never thought much of the Honda sensing system; so I have no real way of knowing if it is off because some of the sensors are not working. It has always seemed to work intermittently. I just thought it was a poor design. Now I'm wondering if it's just partially working.
Appreciate any ideas. Thanks.
