Car not under warrenty, TSB Still apply ?

My car is under warrenty and I'm having TPS Sensor problems,
I know there is a TSB issued somewhere for this but I'm unable to find it at the moment, I'm also wonder if honda would still do it for free since my car isn't under warrenty ?

If it is out of warranty, then you will have to pay for it. TSB's are notices that a part will be replaced under warranty. A recall on the otherhand will be replaced free of charge no matter if you are in warranty or not. If you are having TPS problems, then most likely you need a new throttle body. The part is about $270 and $70 labor from honda to install it.

the sensor is part of the throttle body. If the sensor goes bad, you have to replace the whole throttle body.

What makes you think the sensor has failed?

oh and you can get the throttle body off www.hondaautomotiveparts.com for like $140.

Send it to maxbore.com but e-mail him first to see if he can fix it. It's cheaper than buying a new one.

for the seatbelt, the tsb just says to clean the top holder that the belt moves through. It says dirt buildup causes it to go slow. Same with the window prolly, although I haven't seen a tsb for that one.

i called honda and well, they told me that the TSB is not valid when the warrenty expires. You should just give them a call, it should be active for Canada also or just drop by your dealership.
