It has nothing to do with Honda, and everything to do with federally required OBD-II emissions standards, which were developed by the California Air Resources Board and adoped by the federal government.
Don't blame Honda - blame the hippies for forcing OBD-II upon consumers.

No I do not work in the automotive industry.
And yes, I do blame the hippies for plenty of things. But I don't use the hippies as a whipping boy for all that ails Honda.
I blame Honda for including components in their vehicles which are either misdiagnosing error codes, or generating erroneous codes. Honda should pony-up for compensation for our time which has been wasted due to Honda's generation of these erroneous diagnostic codes which have cost the driving public thousands, if not millions of dollars, in wasted time and unnecessary repairs.
Federally required standards are to blame? Huh? That's like saying an airbag busted your nose during a collision and the government is to blame, when the airbag saved your life.
The issue is Honda's product is malfunctioning, and consumers are being told to replace catalytic converters (at $3000, including diagnostics, labor, and taxes). That's like your doctor telling you you need to pay him $3000 to have your lobotomy, when all you need is for him to purchase new, accurate diagnostic equipment!
You obviously don't own a 2003 Honda Civic hybrid.
