My contribution::

Service bulletin is 06-052 , your car must fall within the VIN range (.......6H700001- ......6H707606), if its after the range your ECU has already been "reflashed" from the factory so you have NOTHING to worry about. Your CEL doesnt have to be on, and most likely wont be on even if you need the reflash.

Defect code is 03217
Symptom code is 09114

Its a simple update performed via the HDS tablet and takes about 10 mintues to complete

Many people out of the VIN range still think they need it but they dont. You may experience similar symptoms with revhang/bucking but give the ECU some time to learn your driving and it will all smooth out. The first gear bucking complaint is only an issue if the car is started cold and driven right away. The ECU is trying to keep the rev's high to get the car to normal operating temp ASAP to avoid damage... completley normal tho. also any drive by wire setup has some sort of revhang/lag, again nothing to be concerned about

Other users helpful information/experiences/posts:

Let me try and clarify for people. The dealers ARE clueless. I called 3 yesterday and none had any idea. The one I went to actually said he checked the HDS tablet for the update and said there was nothing. I have a friend that is a tech at a local dealership and we reflashed mine at his dealership LAST NIGHT. There REALLY IS an update. I watched it, it's a new version number, and it actually says it fixes the hang, etc. I don't know if you guys are just asking, or if the dealers are actually checking, but after connecting the HDS to my car, my friend found the update and applied it. PICS during upgrade (0%)

I just got back from the dealership and I need to thank Von for being extremely helpful (they also have an NBP Si for sale tucked away in the back...no navi). First off, DO NOT talk to anyone other than a technician. The upgrade is for their HDS board not our ECU I watched him look up on the Honda intranet and read that the upgrade disc was mailed to all dealers the week of July 10th. They ALL have the disc. They may not have installed it yet but they have it Ask them what version they are running It should be 2004.005.04 The software allows the HDS to read the ECU for the 07 Accord and 07 Civic(all except the GX and Hybrid If they have the correct software, talk them into running a diagnostic on your ECU. The update will then show up on the HDS and you can receive the "upgrade" The software for the 07 models has the throttle hang fixed, All that is happening is your ECU is being reflashed to 07 specs Unfortunately the dealer I went to was running the one that was sent out in December...there have been 3 upgrades since. The tech said he will install the software before my upcoming appt. SO the latest I can have it is the 17th....I'm going to start searching over since I now know how to explain this and get some answers I went to White Plains Honda

Just got back from getting the reflash and it is much better. It is not perfect but it is definitley an improvement. I can actually blip the throttle and get an immediate response rather than having to hold the pedal to make up for the hesitation. This makes for great downshifting and throttle response. First gear hesitation is also gone. Between shifts there is still a slight hang but nothing like it was. All in all, im happy with it, it actually feels like i have control of the throttle now and i dont have to anticipate actions to make up for excessive hesitation. This makes for a much better driving experience and one less thing i have to complain about. Now, if i could get them to put on a thicker coat of paint. here is what the tech put on my service paper.

my dealer just got update 2.005.08 here is proof of the fix this screen was also shown on the hds. we tried using the direct connection with the pc but it wouldnt work. the hds searches for updates then you have to download the updates off the honda net. it is then plugged back into the car and the ecu is updated!

Please feel free to add anything you think is helpful or correct any misinformation I have posted.

tell them your calling honda corp & a regional manager due to them being moronic and shouldn't be working on cars.

711xxx is the last 6 of my VIN.

I still experience Rev Hang....I don't mind it that much, but I guess I'd rather not have it. I'm told it's not good for spirited driving

any ideas?

Your dealership is correct.

Did you actually read any of the information posted or just look at all of the pictures?

From your past posts it seems like you should be more focused on learning how to perform any sort of "spirited" driving before you concern yourself with a small rev hang.
