Honda Clarity Vlog – Tip#007: Check Engine Lights @ 11,000 miles – 12 Volt Reset!

Welcome Honda Clarity Tip and Vlog (RTwC) episode 007! I am at 11,053 miles and 7 months of ownership with my Honda Clarity PHEV. This morning I got Check Engine Light (CEL) and other systems sending alerts on my dash board. Brake system problem, Hill assist problem, Engine error, TMPS sensor problem and other issues popping up.

I have full charge on my PHEV battery and a full tank of gas. The temperature was 74 degrees so it wasnt cold. I drove it around the block and the CEL light did not clear. So having to go to work, I opened the hood and disconnected the 12 volt battery for 5 minutes. With most cars this will reset or have the car’s computer clear some codes to recheck what was wrong. While under the hood, i checked the oil, brake, coolant, and windshield liquid levels. Everything was a good levels except the wind shield fluid (https://amzn.to/2K1tqvB ) which i added more. I closed the hood and drove the Honda Clarity around the block and the CEL lights cleared and never came back. UPDATE* It has not reappeared even after 200 miles of driving. If in doubt bring it to a Honda Dealer to check!

The Honda Clarity is a pretty great car with good designed an comfortable ride. I believe Honda programming my have its initial bugs as this was the first model year.
Among other things I will be driving her as a commuter care and a roadtrip car, as I got all weather mats for her ( https://amzn.to/2VIaxBh ) which were great with all the road trips!

UNBOXING! Costco! TYPE S – 360 Dash Cam! $159!

Here is my quick unboxing of the new TYPE S – 360 degree Dash Cam! I got it from Costco for $159! There are other similar 360 Dash Cameras ( https://amzn.to/2CgMbad ) sold online for $200 or more. My Costco had a pallet of them yesterday, and it was half gone compared today. It has a single wide fisheye lens that captures around the car cabin. Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases.

I can see this 360 dash cam being used to capture video inside the car rather than outside. This 360 camera is app controlled and has GPS installed. It includes a 12 volt hard wire to the dashcam for Park and Record mode using the car’s 12 volt battery. The direct hard wire also has a voltage drop protection to turn off the dash cam if the 12 voltage drops below 11.4 volts (according to the manual). It also has a 12 volt socket to 5v USB cable as well. The package also includes a 16 GB memory card , moreover it can take up to 128 GB microSD card.

I plan to run the camera with a cheap 26800 mah USB Type C charger (https://amzn.to/36yjyDl ) i bought 6 months ago… or really good Anker 26800 lithium portable charger (https://amzn.to/2N7SSRU ). The dash cam can be powered by lithium battery pack rather than the car’s 12 volt battery. The last thing i want is to be stuck with a dead car battery.

Probably the use case would be for daily ride share drivers or for Youtube vloggers to make videos inside the car. However video is all shared under the 1080p camera so i am not sure if the picture quality would be good.

Honda Clarity Tip: Cleaning Center Console Infotainment Screen and Dash board.

Honda Clarity Tip: Cleaning the center console from finger prints and Dash board from dust! The 2018 Honda Clarity has a large infotainment touch screen display that gets blurry with finger marks. I keep a soft microfiber towel ( https://amzn.to/2OIIgKo ) handy in the car to wipe it daily. I also use the microfiber cloth to quickly dust the dash board and the interior of the car.
