My 17 touring did the same thing to me. Wet snow coated the radar sensor behind the Honda emblem. [emoji1304]. I was gonna do some searching as well so I’m subscribed.

Maybe a coating of Rain-X might help.

 

It happened to me last time it snowed. Once the Honda emblem gets iced up the system stops working. I agree the limitations of the system during bad weather is bad, especially when that's the time you will most likely rely on it.

 

Yup this happened to me too. 2016 Elite. Had to stop every 15 to 20 mins in a winter storm to scrub the logo clean.... really dumb if you ask me.

If anyone has any work around for this please share it here...

Hey guys! You got it right, it has to do with a coat of snow/ ice on the radar behind the Honda shield or the camera near u the rear view mirror. Not much you can other then cleaning the emblem.. do not put rains or aquapel on the emblem.. I’m not sure it’s glass cover and most of those product won’t work on plastic, I’m not even sure they would not damage polymers so play safe and accept they won’t work on those days.... I can wrap my head ahead around the fact these are not heated surface that would prevent ice buildup but so is life....

bumping this for Science

 

Unfortunately, the microwave radar can’t distinguish snow from other solid objects. I just cancel the Collision Mitigation system by press the button on the left to the steeling column. My other cars’ front parking sensor will be triggered sporadically then flash and beep as well when driving in snow days. As long as we know what it is, not a big deal then.

 

^ This very much here sums it up.

It just sucks that WOW technology that we paid for would be really useful in a snow storm but NOPE.

looking for any one who's able to get around this........

 

I understand that heat is bad for electronics but based on outside temperature, perhaps if a controlled low heat heating element similar to that in the rear defroster could have been installed behind the Honda Emblem, it might have helped in such cases.

Might have been more cool if on cold days the car would have defaulted to heat the sensor, but Honda Link could communicate using smartphone Bluetooth the current weather forecast and then the car could have skipped the heat if freezing rain or snow was not in forecast. I know, this is just a wish in the wonderland for the moment

 

Obviously the microwave transmitter needs MORE POWER! >

 

maybe don't drive when it's snowing XD

 

The only time I had false alarms in the snow other the sporadic car parked near a curb on my side ... is when snow had stuck to the sensor.. been driving in a hell of a snow storm during the holidays with collision mitigation system enabled and got zero false alarm... I just make sure to check it’s still clean every few hours... the pregnant wife needs to pee anyway...

For reference, I have added the picture of frozen Honda emblem for reference in the OP.

 

Thanks. That’s the photo I posted some time back of my CRV logo when the sensing system shut down. Has to be some way to supply heat to the logo yet still allow the system to function.

 

To compound the problem, perhaps you've seen that Honda "H" emblems have sometimes been pried off by vandals, ostensibly as some sort of tribal decorative trophy. :15:

Previously this was an irritating nuisance :30:. Now, it has the potential to become expensive system damage.:cursin:

 

This happened to me also. It was not snowing, and was not below freezing. The dealer does not have any idea what happened. Thoughts?
