I would be interested in what was your diagnosis.

I had the same issue on my 2016 LX. Emissions problem / check engine light came on at 72km (second day I had the car). Brought it back to the dealer, and was tested as bad knock sensor (saw the report myself) which was promptly changed. They checked all other readings and no other problems were noticed.

According to the my dealer's report, it was also due to intermittent knock sensor failure, however, they just cleared the code instead of replacing the sensor.

Okay, so we had the same issue. I am picking up the car today... if the light comes back on again I will post it here. The actual technician/mechanic I spoke to (and believed) noted that if it was his new car he would have just reset it and see if it ever comes up again, but because it was a customer's new car, and I tend to be pretty demanding, they took one off of a new car on the lot and replaced mine.

Please post if it comes back. Then you should definitely ask that they replace it.

Haha, someone's probably gonna buy a car with a known bad part... just like the defective returns to the big box stores that get put right back on the shelf.

Pretty sure they ordered a new sensor for the other car on the lot. They wanted a quick fix for me I think... I had the car less than 24 hours. But you never know...

Also experienced the same fault, after only 540km.

I created a thread and poll in the "Issues and Repairs" subforum to track this problem.

Ive only had mines for two weeks now to and it says the same thing, did they fix your car?

There's a TSB in the US to fix this problem for LX/EX (2.0L) cars with a software change. TSB 16-18, IIRC.

This is due to bad gas... like water in the gas or dirt in the gas

They put a new sensor in and updated my software

I would also ask them to flush my gas system

How did a known/fixed software bug result in dirt/water in the fuel system?

I'm surprised they put in a new sensor--unless it wasn't the knock sensor but was some other sensor/because the read out some other error code--since the TSB suggests Honda won't reimburse for any P0326 diagnostic code fix before doing the software update.

I am disappointed. Less than 2 week old EX-T got following messages when I started driving just now. 'Emission System Problem', 'Brake System Problem', 'Brake Hold System Problem', Vehicle Stability Assist(VSA) Problem, 'Hill Start Assist problem', 'Power Steering System(EPS) Problem. Will have to take it to dealer abt 20 miles away tomorrow morning.

I also had the check engine light up on me today, i was real surprise since i got the car 3 weeks ago... I thought maybe it was the gas i used... Before that i would use octane 91 from shell and yesterday i used 87 also from shell. Then i went to get groceries came back to the car and it disappeared. Hope it stays that way. Checked engine on a brand new car is ridiculous!
