Sorry it took me a day to get back but problem solved in about an hour.
The tech hooked up the car and although the lights did clear themselves he was able to get an error code.
The error code is a known problem, it is a software fix. There apparently is a problem that the software gives an erroneous code and lights up the check engine and VSA idiot lights. The fix is to update the software. He did and everything is now okie- dokie.
Official statement from my receipt: Updated current PCM Software with newest available version to resolve P2118 misinterpretation problem. Cleared DTC and no problems at this time.
My build date is 7/2010. I asked the service writer (who is very good and I have dealt with him for a few years) if the tech had seem it before or if he knows when the software was dated in new CTs.
He called back, the tech has done it only one other time and he was unsure of when this was updated.
So, Honda knows this can occur, has the fix, and will correct it when/if the problem occurs. I would think if a customer asked about this directly they would run the update for you.
My writer was apologetic, washed the car and even topped the tank with gas for me. It's worth a tip now and then, good for building a relationship.
All is good.
