Clock Gains or Loses Time

TITLE:
Clock Gains or Loses Time

APPLIES TO:
2003 Pilot EX

SERVICE TIP:
If owners of are complaining that the clock gains or loses 2 or more minutes a month, replace the radio. So why 2 minutes instead of the typical 1 minute? The Pilot EX's radio doesn't have a Reset button, so the seconds can't be zeroed when the hour and minutes are set. Because of this, a true-to-the second test can't be done, and this allows for up to a 59 second margin of error.
