What's wrong?
The integrated control module in the 2023-2025 Honda Accord Hybrid is a control computer for the hybrid propulsion system. Its central processing unit, or CPU, helps manage signals between hybrid system functions so the vehicle can deliver drive power as intended.
On included vehicles, the monitoring software inside that module was written in a way that confuses internal communication errors with CPU abnormalities. Added module-controlled functions also increased electrical load and electrical noise. Together, those errors can trigger an unintended module reset while the vehicle is moving, which can interrupt propulsion control and cause a loss of drive power.
There is no warning sign before failure. That means an owner cannot rely on a dashboard message, sound, or change in driving feel before the reset happens.
Who's affected?
Covers three model years of the Accord Hybrid, all tied to the integrated control module software.
