Bro, maybe it is the problem of your Honda sales agent.
They can swap out anything before you getting the car.

What's more mind-boggling is that to qualify for warranty claims, my battery has to be Honda certified specs. Meaning if your original battery dies within 3- or 5-year warranty period, you will have to buy a battery from Honda SC, else if you buy and install outside, say bye bye to your warranty.

If your car battery dies outside somewhere, would you call a tow truck to have your car dragged back to Honda SC, or look for the nearest workshop to replace battery...? Which is more logical to you...?

Challenge them to show you the written rules where the battery must be supplied by Honda SC.
Also ask them whether tyres must be bought from Honda SC?

There are few items especially wear and tear type aren't covered by Honda SC.

But again, your VS already exposed your intention to modify the car. You are on the losing ground actually.

The fooking thing is, I went back to the Honda USJ SC where I bought the car from, they also said requires original battery, else they will not honour warranty. This one also I never mention shit about the VS...

is there any standalone ECU for Honda Jazz GK5 2016? So I change tune with new ECU and if anything happen I can put back ORI ECU and claim warranty
*
Standalone ECU is always there. The thing is, are you expecting a wire-in or a plug-in one? Plug-in one, you will be shit out of luck.

Else, just get some piggyback and just deal with it.

They can swap out anything before you getting the car.

Anyway, forget about the VS. New cars are quite well voltage stabilized by design in the factory. If you installed the VS in wrong way (e.g. charged VS and you swapped the polarity), you might fry your ECU and other sensors.

Seriously? the cars ain't even grounded properly

Ok, Honda AutoWorld SB confirms my starter has problems, but before I can claim warranty, I was told that I need to remove my Voltage Stabliser off my car battery.

Ok, VS removed, now they tell me that my car battery is not original and not up to spec, cannot proceed until car battery is changed.

Deng...!!!  vmad.gif

That fooking battery came with my car and I installed VS on top of it for over 2 years liao, and they said Honda don't issue wet batteries on new cars, only maintenance-free batteries. Pookemak, had to fork out 200 bucks to change battery just to claim warranty.

I'm writing in to Honda to complain dy. If they can't provide original battery when delivering cars, imagine what other fooking parts that are NOT original being installed on new cars...?  ranting.gif  bangwall.gif
*
Jus claim it elsewhere? Tried?

I remember my car came with a non maintenance free battery. I think it was a panasonic. Crapped out in 1 year flat.

even u replace back , Honda still know . coz ur mileage recorder in ECU is diff if not mistaken. our driving style is recorded in ECU... correct me if im wrong  thumbsup.gif

Standalone means bypassing the ECU all together. You will be lucky if you can even make your dash work let alone want to retain the odometer readings.

QUOTE(zhihao4456 @ Oct 28 2016, 07:49 PM)
dang, really? i tot it would work~ hahahahaha  biggrin.gif
then i guess tune ORI ECU and revert back to ORI settings when claim warranty then pray it won't check deeply on the records~ if basic basic go through i think should pass  rclxm9.gif

I wish there was a hondata for the L15 ecu's too... too bad there is none.

I saw in youtube like in thailand they mostly use Data Tec Standalone ECU and can go like 0-100 in 7sec~ I was like WTF!!!

As i say. Standalone is always available. But, if you want plug-in ones without having to cut into your stock harness. You would have to be driving something they would be willing to make one for. Evo, Scooby and the likes.

Else, your only choice is a wire-in unit.

furthermore, there is nothing you can improve with an ecu without having the internals worked on.

unless you want to seriously shorten the lifespan of the motor.

I've just checked, my car came with Panasonic 34B19L non maintenance-free battery... The dealers claimed that the actual spec approved by Honda is 38B19L maintenance-free.

I assume your model is GE8 CKD...?

If the car is not grounded properly... the first symptom to spot is the wheezing sound from your radio.
Because radio always grounded to the car chassis and the battery negative pole is connected to the chassis as well.

When there is a voltage difference, the wheezing sound can be heard.

If your radio is having some weird sounds. That is on a totally whole different level of assembly from Honda.

There are other symptoms of improper grounding. Voltage stabilizer actually is a concept that works. The problem is with multiple capacitors so small like 10,000 microfarad, what can it seriously do to compensate for anything?

There is always area to improve. But, it is not significant to normal people. That is what i am trying to deliver.

I have a question regarding the hill.hold assist on a GK

How exactly does it works?

For my case, when I'm stationary on a slope once I disengage the brake, my car will fall back after 1 to 2 seconds rather than moving slightly forward.

Is this how the HHA suppose to work ?

Hill Hold Assist let you have a buffer time to step on gas pedal without letting car go back down the slope.

It is not holding until you step on gas pedal.

Was considering mazda2 hatchback as it's more fun to drive however with the price increase on mazda2 which is utterly rubbish, most likely I will get the jazz v specs. However the biggest problem is i already own 2 Honda at home....not again..huhu

For me Jazz also fun to drive but because of small width tyre which is 175 spoil the cornering.

But still 170km/h on corner still stable just feel little floating.

I change mine to 205/17/45 gooding already cornering with all stock.

Now planning to install strut bar thumbup.gif

At 170kmh, do you still call it a corner?
