I had this problem before. I believe the car just needs to drive in a straight line for about 10-12 seconds.

Thanks.... had a similar issue, thank you for reply with results cause I was about to stress out lol

Yes this will happen whenever the battery is disconnected for a lengthy time. Also with mine, my car was in the garage and the GPS signal did not pick up, so I got something pop up on my screen which told me to get away from buildings and trees.

I'm having a similar issue and it doesn't seem to be going away. I am unable to drive far because I currently don't have a license (yeah). But I've driven it out of the driveway and a little ways, but still getting the screen. Think it's just a matter of having to drive it farther? That seems like a silly thing, because why would they want you to drive it when it's initializing? Any info would be appreciated, thanks!

Need to drive a mile or so. Then park shut off and restart and it should take care of it.
I think some of the stuff is self diagnostics that only run when you start and some takes driving. Until you restart it just assumes that there is still a problem. It won’t recheck automatically.

I have this issue today too when I disconnect the black wire of battery to install style foglights for my honda civic 18. I was stress at the first time and I search on google and see some people have the same issue and just drove it for 15 seconds and it was gone.

Drive striaght for 8 to 12 sec

It is specified in the owners manual that some components need a few km/miles driving to reset.

It’s a really short distance. Like someone else said. 8-10 seconds.

Bumping this thread because this has happened to my Type R yesterday and today. I followed the procedure and shut off the car then restart, everything reverted back to normal. However, I did not disconnect the battery at all and never even touched the battery since I bought the car.

Thoughts on what is triggering this? My initial concern is the stupid aftermarket alarm the dealership installed that I was forced to pay for in order to get the car at "MSRP".

This happened to me too after installing a 250 watt amp with a subwoofer.
Anyone knows what it could be?

I found that my case ended up being lose terminal connections. I suggest you check that your battery terminals are tightened correctly.

Thanks for the tip, I'll check again today. I also have an appt at the dealership tomorrow to look at it as well to make sure this issue goes away. It can be quite scary when I suddenly lose power steering making a curvy turn and basically fighting the steering wheel the whole time lol.
