DTC 1201: DVD High Temp

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Fit, 2010 Honda Fit, and 2009 Honda Fit. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
  • Check the vehicle battery condition first.
  • Before you troubleshoot, make sure to follow GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION  .
  • This code sets when the internal temperature of the ECU rises above 158°F (70°C). The unit is designed to shut down to protect the ECU. This could be caused by an inoperative ECU fan or if the passenger compartment temperature exceeds the maximum. Do the troubleshooting when the unit is within the allowable temperature range.
  1. Check that the temperature is below 158°F (70°C) in the passenger compartment.
  2. Clear the hard error code (see HOW TO CLEAR ERROR HISTORY  ).
  3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), and then back to ON (II).
  4. Check for the hard error code (see How to Check Error History  ).
