This is truly bizarre but bare with me, drove my 2008 Civic today for first time in the new year, when I parked on New years eve the clock was spot on, today it has jumped 6 hours forward, I have read the manual and tried everything but it will not change, cannot find a YouTube video for a car with nav.

Any ideas on adjusting it please.

Sorry for the long post.

I've seen posts about other Honda cars having suffered this, too.

'might be the Y2K22 problem.

My 2007 crv sat nav is the same. Since 2022 it starts counting from 1 o clock when you turn the ignition on

Seems like a know issue - potentially related to the way the date is stored internally in the system. Some reports that it will only show from Jan to August this year and then start working again!

It will be interesting to see how Honda handle this as it will be a large recal/fix as the same system is in a lot of Honda models.

To update on mine, went out yesterday and is now only 1 hour forward but no matter what I try it cannot be changed, been looking on a few other forums and it seems that it is all linked to the sat nav, I find it really strange that the handbook shows you how to change and the menu is available but no matter what you do it will not reset, even took the disc out yesterday for 1/2 hr to see if made any difference but nope.

Honda has released a statement to say it's a known issue, and that a fix is being sought.

Same in my 2010 Accord. Started car at 11ish today. Noticed 5 mins later clock was showing 12:05.
Annoying but as long as it is an hour ahead (rather than resetting with ignition, which it doesn’t seem to be doing) then it’s not such a big deal as long as Honda can do something about it soon, and not charge for the fix.

I'm another one. Noticed the clock was wrong and thought I'd try and sort it. After an hour of reading the handbook, fiddling with menus, watching Youtube instructions and swearing a lot I gave up thinking that it was me missing something really obvious as it can't be that hard to set a blooming clock!

Having spent a fruitless 30 minutes or so trying to adjust the clock on my 2009 CRV I thought check the internet and have aslo found out that Honda have a problem in that the clocks, on 1st January, have reverted to 2002 rather than 2022 and the clocks themselves seem to be stuck on a random time. E.g every time we turn on ignition it's 1:02. It then keeps good time (albeit the wrong time) for the journey and then will revert to 1:02 when starting the return journey.

Some reports say that the problem will resolve itself in August 2022!!! However, having spoken to our local dealer I've been told to expect a recall notice in due course but they couldn't advise when.

The problem seems to be restricted to models with the NAVI system.

Ha! I had this today.

Fairly sure it was normal on Sunday, but today, 01.00.

I even tried turning it off & on again. No dice.

My OH's 58 plate Accord is the same. No matter what I try the clock is always wrong.

A Honda dealer have (not very helpfully) told me to take out he correct fuse (they did not show me which fuse) and put it back in. I must do this at 1AM to make sure the clock is correct.

What a palaver.

As we're well into August, the supposed date for the "fix" from Honda, has the issue been rectified?

Has it fk!

We raised it with our dealer yesterday….”Honda are still working on a fix Sir” was the reply.

Apparently the "fix" should happen on the 17th August, so I'll have to check mine tomorrow.

"On or after August 17, 2022, when the system’s internal calendar recalibrates, the GPS time signal becomes valid again. The clock will show the correct GPS time but most likely be off by 1 hour because the system’s internal calendar interprets the daylight saving time (DST) change incorrectly.

Now, the customer can adjust the time correctly, and it won’t be affected every time the vehicle’s power is cycled off and then on. The correct time will stay on through the next DST change based on the system internal calendar.

What can we do to avoid the time changes to incorrect value again after August 17, 2022?

The automatic DST function will not work properly causing the incorrect time at the perceived DST date. We recommend that after August 17, 2022, the customer sets the “Auto Daylight Saving” function to “OFF” and adjust the DST manually."

Good find.

The clock fix has materialised, pretty much your post.
