3.2TL Warranty Extension: EGR Port Clogging

Supersedes 00‑004, dated October 26, 2001

Background

In some regions of the U.S., certain chemical properties of gasoline may cause the intake manifold EGR port to clog or the EGR valve to fail. When this occurs, the MIL may illuminate with DTC P0401 (insufficient EGR flow) or P1491 (insufficient EGR lift).

Warranty Extension Information

This warranty extension cancels the previous PCV hose routing Product Update Campaign. Do not install the PCV hose routing kit anymore.

American Honda is extending warranty coverage for EGR system issues to 8 years or 80,000 miles, whichever comes first. To qualify, the MIL must be on with one of the listed DTCs. Install the EGR pipe kit and file a claim per this bulletin.

Customer Notification

Owners of early‑production 1999 TLs (first ~25,000 VINs) will receive letters explaining the cancellation of the PUD and the new warranty extension. Remaining 1999 TL owners will receive similar letters. Examples of these letters appear at the end of this bulletin.

Corrective Action

Clean the EGR port and install the EGR pipe kit.

MIL Comes On With DTC P1441

Supersedes 00‑003 dated June 5, 2000

Affected Vehicles

Year	Model	Trim	VIN Range
1998–99	SLX	ALL	ALL

Revision Summary

The PGM Tester, Smart Cable, and software for SLX reprogramming are no longer available. Some generic scan tools may still work. If PCM updating is required, the PCM must be sent to the vendor for reprogramming.

Symptom

The MIL comes on and DTC P1441 (EVAP system flow during non‑purge) is stored.

Possible Causes

The PCM software does not compensate for fuel tank pressure sensor signal variation when fuel sloshes in a nearly full tank.

Corrective Action

Replace the 20‑to‑120‑ohm fuel sending unit with an 80‑to‑290‑ohm unit and have the PCM updated.
