1st time calibration on 2021 US FK8

Post by reed »

Hello,
Before I start the unlock process and 1st calibration on my 2021 US FK8, I just wanted to make sure that using the 'Civic Type R 2020 FK8 US' under the vehicle dropdown is correct (New Calibration window). There isn't a 2021 option and I don't want to get started and be missing something from the start. Thanks for any info!

You're good. The 2021 is the same as the 2020.

Thanks! In the calibration wizard, there is the option for 93 octane. In Wisconsin, the pump says that 91/93 contains no ethanol. Should I choose the option for 93 with 0 ethanol? Not sure how 93 is in other states.

Jailbreak was a success, however, I've driven the car now 3 times for a total of 30 miles and the error codes still haven't cleared (Rev Match and Emission System) is this typical? I've seen videos where people have driven around a parking lot once and they cleared. This leads to a few questions.

1. Is it OK to upload a calibration if the codes haven't cleared?
2. Is there documentation about how to have 2 calibrations on the Flash Pro and how to change between them?
3. If the codes never clear, then what?

Thanks for any info!

You can upload a calibration at any time.

Details can be found in the help file: https://www.hondata.com/help/flashpro/u ... ration.htm

If after uploading a calibration there are still errors, go to the online menu in the software and then click on OBDII diagnostics and try clearing the errors from there. If any remain, you will just need to drive it until they go away on their own.

In FlashProManager open OBDII diagnostics and from the Diagnostics tab use the clear DTCs function.

For anyone who reads this post and is a first time Hondata user.

The codes cleared after I uploaded my 1st calibration and drove for less than a minute. If I had to do this again, I would jail break and upload a calibration all in one go.

1st impression, the calibration blew me away. 3rd gear pulls are insane now. I honestly can't believe how responsive the throttle is and how fast that turbo spool. Mind blown, Hondata. Cheers!
