PSA if you have rodents near where your Si is parked.

Invest in some rodent deterrent tape that you can get from Honda. I went to go to work yesterday and when I started my car it took a half second extra to start and then my emissions problem warning as well as ALL the Honda Sensing was offline. Though might be a bad O2 or MAF sensor or something with the battery as that is what I found doing a bit of research. I have a 2025 with 14.5k KMS on it so would have been weird if that was the case but took it in to Honda this morning. Turns out a rodent had chewed through the camshaft position sensor harness which set off all the warning emojis and made my car hesitate to start. They were able to repair it but still cost me 500.00. They had some of that tape on hand and wrapped the wire in it. I ordered a full roll and plan to wrap as many harness wires as I can to prevent this from happening again. Stupid thing is that I do not live in the countryside, and have never had any rodent problems in my cars before.

TLDR: Get some Honda rodent deterrent tape and wrap any exposed wires in your engine bay to prevent this from happening to you.
