Something weird happens about 25% of the time I crank my 2003 EX V6 Accord Coupe - the A/C never comes on, the cruise control is inoperative, and the shift indicator on the dash doesn't show any position as active. If I stop the car, turn if off, and immediately crank it again, everything immediately works normally. I did manage to find a possible TSB, but all I can find is this description: "# TSB #03072 -- AIR CONDITIONER, CRUISE CONTROL, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT POSITION INDICATOR DO NOT WORK. *TT (NHTSA ID # 10004792, OCTOBER 03 2003)" Anybody have any idea of what the cause could be? A relay maybe? Casey
-------------------------------------------- What does the TSB say about how to fix the trouble? Replace ignition switch? 'Curly'
'Curly Q. Links' said I don't have the TSB - just the words in quotes above. I can't find any more details. It's a 2 hour round trip to the dealer,hours of waiting, and a diagnostic charge as well. If it is just a matter of replacing a relay or something, I'd much rather do it myself at home. Casey

Here ya go: Service Bulletin 03-072 CUSTOMER INFORMATION: The information in this bulletin is intended for use only by skilled technicians who have the proper tools, equipment, and training to correctly and safely maintain your vehicle. These procedures should not be attempted by “do-it-yourselfers,” and you should not assume this bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle has the condition described. To determine whether this information applies, contact an authorized Honda automobile dealer. October 3, 2003 Applies To: 2003 Accord V6 – ALL A/C, Cruise Control, A/T Shift Position Indicator Do Not Work (DTC U0155) SYMPTOM The customer complains about at least one of these intermittent symptoms: • A/C doesn‘t work. • Cruise control doesn‘t work. • A/T shift position indicator in the instrument cluster doesn‘t work. NOTE: When this problem occurs, all of these symptoms are present, but the customer may not notice them all. PROBABLE CAUSE A communication problem between the F-CAN (controller area network) and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). CORRECTIVE ACTION Use the Honda Interface Module (HIM) to update the PCM. I don't think you can fix this yourself; it's a software problem, and only the dealer will have the update. --Gene
Gene S. Berkowitz said Thank you, Gene. Yes, it sounds like a dealer fix. If this is a software problem, I wonder why the symptoms just started? Casey
