2010 ZDX Advcd. no power

mikeauto6 — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 18:57:58 GMT

Hello community !
So I have My 2010 ZDX sitting in a city parking garage for a few months,. The last time it was driven I noticed an alert: (Electrical system/not charging/turn off all power equipment)

A few weeks later I try to start the car. with no luck. I changed the battery, and it dose not seem as if the neg. is connected, (no spark)
Note: when checking the old battery it still had enough power to at least illuminate the dash lights.

So I started with the fuse : 38231-SFE-J01 (120A/40A) I replaced this with an o.e.m. part, Still nothing. When I look through the window on the dash the security alert/L.E.D. is not flashing.

I assume that there is no power being drawn from the battery?
Things to consider:
. The car is locked and I never had the blade key due to previous owner changing the door lock. So because of this I always leave the hood adjured in the event of a needed jump start.
So I can not get into the car unless there is power or I call a locksmith.
. The alternator was changed by Acura 3 years ago.
. Also the car is on a high floor in a city parking garage so towing is not an option. Any help/ideas would be appreciated!

Display Screen Software Recall

Has someone else received the "Display Screen Software Recall"

https://hondanews.com/en-US/honda-co...oftware-recall

If so, will that also require that they install "TSB 25-033 - A11 Radio Control Module Software Updates #1". And how about "TSB 25-034 - K73 Telematics Control Module Software Updates #1"?

Who has recommendations on an OBD2 dongle and a companion scanner application for an iPhone?

Disappointing fast charging experience

billjay — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 16:54:58 GMT

I do not fast charge often, and have never paid attention to how fast it is, but decided to today. I was at 56%. I had preconditioned the battery. Air temps 70F. I was at an Electrify America 350 kW CCS charger. According to the published charging curve this should be a 14 minute charge, and should start around 135 kW and end at 100 kW.

It took 22 minutes. Max charge was 90 kW, ended at 78 kW. In theory, this car should be able to go from 40% to 80% in 22 minutes. This was sad to see to say the very least.

Route planning in-car

billjay — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 14:52:13 GMT

We have two options for route-planning in the car. We can use the built-in Google Maps (which I have had success with), or we can download ABRP from the PlayStore onto our Home Screen. I have found both lacking, however, but in different ways.

I was looking into the possibility to use our ZDX to travel from Austin to South Padre Island so I hopped in the car (which is only at 70% battery now) and tried to plan it. I have done this a few times for other trips, but for this trip I am not impressed. It has me at two stops, which is very believable. But says one of those stops will be for over an hour! Is it trying to get me to like 95% before I leave that charger? It will tell me how much battery I have upon arrival at the charger, and how long I will be charging. What it does not say is what charge state I am targeting. In other words, "leave when you hit 74%". As we know, charging by time is unreliable, because you simply don't know if a charger is throttling delivery for some reason. You need to know how much SOC you need to make it to the next stop. And built-in Google Maps won't show me that.

Now to ABRP. I ike this tool on the desktop. It will show me SOC upon arrival at the charger, how much time I will charge for, and what SOC I need to hit before I leave. Great, right? But the version on the car's Home Screen shows me none of that. Ugh. Really?

This is so disappointing. Screen shots attached.

NOTE: On that Google Maps route. Austin to Kennedy is about 100 miles. Believable when starting at 70% of charge. However, Kennedy to Harlingen is 200 miles! That is a stretch, would be hard to do on a normal 80-20% trip. Notice it has me arriving at 13% of battery, which worries me as well.

ABRP on the desktop has me stopping in Kennedy as well, arriving at 18%, charging to 60%, in 18 minutes. Then go to Kingsville, 20-74% in 27 minutes. Believeable, reasonable. But I don't get those details on the car's version, only on my desktop or phone.

Surprisingly good trip

billjay — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 14:13:28 GMT

Some good news for a change? I had to go from Cedar Park, TX to San Marcos to return something. Round trip 113 miles. This was a mix of highway and surface streets, sometimes to 75-78mph. Trip computer said I averaged 3.2 miles/kWh. And I only used 102 miles of estimated range and 34% of the battery. Woo hoo!

New type of app problem

billjay — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 17:13:43 GMT

Normally I'm used to the app misbehaving by taking a long time to sync before it finally says "I can't do it". Recently it has been sync'ing in a respectable amount of time BUT GIVING BACK WRONG DATA. Specifically state-of-charge. Everything appears as if the sync was successful, but the data is wrong. State of charge and estimated miles are both wrong. For example, saying 66% when the battery is really at 60%. And no indication from the app that anything went wrong, it looks like everything went correctly. Ugh.

At least the old fail mechanism let you know something went wrong.
