So I took my S for a long drive this past weekend and I got a CEL even though the car was running perfectly. Went to Autozone and they read "P0600". After some searching I found the following on S2KCA (actually it was Mike, My Yella S2K who posted it)...

"theres a bulletin from Honda regarding this.


Applies To: 2006 S2000 – ALL
2007 S2000 – From VIN JHMAP2...7S000001 thru JHMAP2...7S003235


The MIL comes on with DTC P0600 (serial
communication link malfunction).

PROBABLE CAUSE
When the ignition switch is on for about 4 or more
hours (engine running or not), the ECM can
misinterpret the serial communication signal and set
DTC P0600.

CORRECTIVE ACTION
Update the PGM-FI software with the HDS."

So I emailed that text to my dealer so I could schedule the update but they claim they can't find that bulletin. Does someone have more info on this like a specific bulletin number so I have all of my ducks in a row? It sucks that we're the ones having to provide dealers with this info.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

 

found this link but it's password protected.

Honda Techs? http://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/ondeny.htm

 

Can you still clear the CEL?

 

Not sure?

 

Googled it again:

Found this:

The MIL comes on with DTC P0600 (serial
communication link malfunction).

PROBABLE CAUSE
Car not driven enough.

CORRECTIVE ACTION
Track car needs track time - Take car to Pocono in 2011 and stop waxing it!!

 

but all that wax is going to lower my lap time.

 

Nice detective work there Andy.

 

Nice. GrandMasterKhan in S2000 Talk posted up just in time for me to return the call I got from my service department saying there is no bulletin and that I need to leave the car for 4 hours for diagnosis. Jerks. Anyway I called them and helped them do their job by giving them the bulletin number. Should be all squared away. I'll know for sure on Friday after my appointment.
