I feel it's like 8D of Ford.if only excellent attitude,forms is not important.  

hjilling said: It may not be "new," but it is a clear format to help their suppliers think through a problem to get clear root causes and solutions. It does not have to be new to be good. I'm not exactly "new" any more but that may actually make me more valuable (like Wes...). Click to expand...

People, Process, Platform, Partnership, and Problem Solving: The 5P Approach to Strengthening Knowledge Management Capacity and Culture

This post originally appeared on K4Health's blog on August 10, 2015.

Knowledge management (KM) capacity and organizational culture work together like an engine for initiating, facilitating, and sustaining KM efforts within organizations. However, KM practitioners in global health and development often face challenges in strengthening KM capacity and culture, as they may not be well equipped with a practical tool readily applicable to their specific context and needs.

K4Health KM Capacity Assessment Tool: The 5P Approach

To address this challenge, in 2013, K4Health first published the “Knowledge Management Capacity Assessment Tool” as Appendix 2 in the Guide to Monitoring and Evaluating Knowledge Management in Global Health Programs (available online and in print ). Yet, our work did not stop there. Since then, K4Health has continued our efforts to enhance the initial concept introduced in the first version of the tool.

Based on a thorough review of relevant literature and other assessment tools focused on KM and global health, our main objective was identifying key elements that are simple and easy to remember and will resonate with KM practitioners. We consolidated and developed an extensive list of assessment questions and indicators, then mapped them into five key KM domains.

Three of the five key domains, People, Process, and Platform (Technology), have been linked to a concept that is largely accepted by KM practitioners from disciplines ranging from business to organizational learning. The two remaining domains, Partnership and Problem Solving, are informed and guided not only by the literature review but also by K4Health’s programmatic experience.

Together, the 5Ps of KM form a basis for organizations to assess their KM capacity and culture. The 5P approach helps them examine existing skills, needs, and opportunities so that they can identify areas to be strengthened and draft action plans for improvement.

People are both contributors and users of knowledge in organizations. This domain covers the following three sub-areas:

  • resources/human capital required for KM
  • leadership, which is the organization’s senior management support to KM
  • an organizational culture that supports knowledge sharing and networking

Process represents a series of actions or steps learned and applied to achieve KM objectives within organizations. This domain refers to the following three sub-areas:

  • KM strategy that is aligned with the broader mission of the organization
  • knowledge flow/cycle of assessing, capturing, generating, adapting, and sharing knowledge
  • measurement such as an M&E system and indicators

Platform relates to the organization’s use of online and offline tools and other supporting mechanisms for systematizing and operationalizing KM activities. While the combination of People, Process, and Technology may be more familiar to some KM practitioners, we prefer Platform, as it is broad and flexible. This domain includes the following three sub-areas:

  • KM approaches
  • information technologies

Partnership can help organizations learn from each other’s experiences and expertise, work effectively with stakeholders and other collaborators, and achieve a shared vision together. This domain covers the following three sub-areas:

  • knowledge exchange
  • coordination
  • networking purposes

Problem Solving is an important skill that organizations need for continually connecting knowledge and performance, as problems occur due to changes in the environment and are regular aspects of our work. This domain includes the following three sub-areas:

  • knowledge seeking
  • identification of new ideas and problems
  • critical thinking

K4Health is currently pre-testing the 5P concept in the updated version of the KM Capacity Assessment Tool, which works as a participatory self-assessment tool and aims to measure the KM maturity and competency of an individual organization and/or a group of organizations (e.g., professional networks, technical working groups). We hope that we can formally share the updated Tool with you in the coming months. In the meantime, we welcome your feedback on the 5Ps of KM!

Uncovering Solutions: The Power of the 5 Whys in Problem-Solving

  • Posted on November 6, 2023
  • / Under Diagram , Infographics
  • / With 3 Comments

Introduction

In the intricate dance of problem-solving, the ability to ask the right questions often determines the quality of the solutions obtained. One powerful and elementary approach to problem-solving is the “5 Whys” technique , a method that encourages deep thinking through persistent questioning. Originally developed by Sakichi Toyota within the Toyota Motor Corporation, this technique has proven its efficacy in swiftly identifying the root causes of problems. In this article, we will delve into the mechanics of the 5 Whys and explore its application in real-life problem-solving scenarios.

The 5 Whys Strategy

The 5 Whys strategy is a systematic approach to problem-solving that involves asking “Why?” repeatedly until the root cause of a problem is uncovered. The process starts by identifying the specific problem and then iteratively asking why the problem occurred, drilling down to its fundamental cause. This approach is not only simple but also highly adaptable, making it applicable to a wide range of issues.

How to Conduct 5 Whys Analysis

Root Cause Analysis

  • Define the Problem: Begin by clearly articulating the problem at hand. Writing it down helps formalize the issue and ensures that the entire team is focused on the same problem.
  • Ask “Why”: Ask why the problem occurred and record the answer. If the answer does not pinpoint the root cause, proceed to the next step.
  • Repeat: Continue asking “Why?” for each answer obtained, creating a chain of causation. Repeat this process until the team reaches a consensus on the root cause.
  • Develop Corrective Actions: Once the root cause is identified, develop appropriate corrective actions to eliminate the issue from the system.

Example of 5 Whys in Action

Let’s take a practical example of a vehicle not starting:

5 Whys Example - Caught speeding

  • The vehicle will not start (The problem)
  • Why? – The battery is dead (First why)
  • Why? – The alternator is not functioning (Second why)
  • Why? – The alternator belt has broken (Third why)
  • Why? – The alternator belt was well beyond its useful service life and not replaced (Fourth why)
  • Why? – The vehicle was not maintained according to the recommended service schedule (Fifth why, a root cause)

Note: The process could extend to a sixth or seventh “Why,” but five iterations are generally sufficient to identify the root cause.

Criticisms of the 5 Whys

While the 5 Whys technique is a valuable tool, it is not without criticisms. Some of the notable critiques include:

  • Stopping at Symptoms, Not the Root Cause: Critics argue that the technique might lead investigators to address symptoms rather than digging deep into the actual root cause.
  • Limited by the Investigator’s Knowledge: The effectiveness of the analysis relies on the knowledge and experience of the investigator, potentially limiting the scope of the investigation.
  • Not Asking the Right Why Questions: The success of the technique depends on asking the right questions, and if these are not framed appropriately, it may yield inaccurate results.
  • Not Repeatable – Different People Build Different 5 Whys: Different investigators may develop different 5 Whys analyses for the same problem, leading to inconsistencies.
  • The Tendency to Isolate a Single Root Cause: Critics argue that the technique might oversimplify complex problems by isolating a single root cause, ignoring potential systemic issues.

Despite its criticisms, the 5 Whys technique remains a valuable tool in the arsenal of problem-solving methodologies. When applied conscientiously and collaboratively, it enables teams to unearth the underlying causes of problems and implement effective corrective actions.

Embracing the simplicity of asking “Why?” multiple times can lead to profound insights, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and innovation in problem-solving.

Honda Auto Engine Idle Stop System Problems: A Guide to Diagnosis and Repair

By David Vallo Updated on May 1, 2024

Auto engine idle stop systems are designed to automatically turn off the engine when the vehicle is idling, such as when stopped at a traffic light or in traffic. However, these systems can sometimes malfunction and cause problems for the vehicle.

Take Honda vehicles, for example. They are known for their reliability and fuel efficiency, and many models feature an auto-engine idle-stop system to help improve gas mileage.

However, like any technology, these systems can sometimes experience problems.

In this article, we will focus on the common issues that Honda vehicle owners may encounter with their auto engine idle stop systems and provide guidance on diagnosing and fixing them.

Whether you drive a Honda Civic, Honda CR-V, or any other Honda model with this technology, this guide will give you the knowledge you need to keep your vehicle running smoothly. 

Note: Before you read the rest of this article, check the brake booster pressure sensor first.

Some 3.5L Engine Honda owners have reported similar occurrences, though it still appears very rare. Several reported that the dealership found a fault in Brake Booster Pressure Sensor, resulting from a loose/disconnected hose.

The Brake Booster Pressure Sensor (#6) is reading a fault, but the fault is not the sensor itself but the hose. If that’s the case, you can dismiss the alert.

Honda Auto Engine Idle Stop System Problems In Honda – Cause Explained

Some common problems with Honda’s Auto Engine Idle Stop System include difficulty starting the engine, the engine turning off while driving, and the system not engaging or disengaging properly.

Various factors, such as a malfunctioning sensor, a low battery, or a software glitch, can cause these issues.

If you are experiencing problems with your Honda’s Auto Engine Idle Stop System, it is best to take it to a certified Honda mechanic for diagnosis and repair.

Why Do You See This Error Message In Your Honda?

There is a general assumption that a Honda vehicle is reliable and doesn’t cause much trouble for its owner. You’re likely to see your first error message on your dashboard after dozens of thousands of miles. 

Honda buyers these days aren’t all as fortunate as they once were. Honda vehicles are increasingly receiving malfunction messages and alerts. There is a general assumption that a Honda vehicle is reliable and doesn’t cause much trouble for its owner. 

Therefore, it is unlikely that you will see the first error message on the dashboard until thousands of miles have passed.

The situation is not the same for all Honda buyers these days. As Honda vehicles become more and more complex, malfunction messages and alerts become more common.

It’s frustrating to go to a Honda dealer and have them explain everything is fine. Because Honda doesn’t have enough information about this problem, there is no instruction on what to do.

As a result, dealers cannot do anything but use computer diagnostics to look for fault codes.

Honda Auto Engine Idle Stop System Problems – Possible Reasons

Honda Auto Engine Idle Stop System Problems

You might encounter this problem because of the following reasons:

  • There is a problem with the auto engine idle-stop system due to a malfunctioning component.
  • The engine keeps running after you stop your vehicle, even though the system should have stopped it.
  • Due to a discharged battery, the vehicle cannot turn off the engine since a bad start is possible;
  • It appears you are driving the vehicle improperly – maybe you don’t have your seatbelts fastened.
  • Other reasons may be behind why your Honda can’t turn off the engine and has to send this bad problem message.

If the message Auto Engine Idle Stop System Problem appears, the start-stop system usually doesn’t work and can’t be applied regardless of whether you press the special button. By not doing this, the engine can’t be automatically started and stopped.

There are a number of reasons why the engine auto start/stop system does not work when the car stops, including a weak battery, an alternator that is malfunctioning, poor wiring connections, a false start/stop control module, or other active systems (such as air conditioning or audio .

There is no doubt that the problem can be serious. Most of the time, however, it relates to a relatively minor problem that can be resolved relatively quickly.

In this section, we’ve made examples of issues you might face with your Honda. Here are some options you can consider.

How To Deal With The Auto Engine Idle Stop Problems?

How To Deal With The Auto Engine Idle Stop Problems

It’s first important to ensure everything inside the vehicle is in working order. Make sure all passengers are wearing their seat belts .

Look at the gauges on your dashboard and ensure everything is in working order. It is important to maintain a proper engine temperature, for instance.

During the warranty period, you should take your vehicle to a dealership. It is unlikely that dealers will provide anything valuable, so you will need to consult with another specialist.

Diagnostics are required; the best time to read the codes is right after the idle stop system stops working.

You can determine why this problem occurs continuously after registering the fault codes. In this case, you will just need to replace the faulty sensor or something similar to repair the vehicle.

Here are some of the most important things you should check:

  • There is no steep incline to the vehicle;
  • d is a gear position, not anything else;
  • Make sure the hood and all doors are closed;
  • There is an optimal charge in the battery;
  • It is not too cold or too hot outside ;
  • There is no setting for the coldest or hottest climate control;
  • The transmission in your car does not have a sport mode .

It is important to check these two conditions before making any other decisions. In most cases, the dashboard may not display any fault messages, but errors can occasionally appear.

What Is Causing My Idle-Stop To Be Temporarily Interrupted?

  • When the driver’s seatbelt is not fastened, auto idle stop will not engage.
  • It is either too hot or too cold in the engine coolant or transmission fluid.
  • Vehicle speed reaches 3 mph before the vehicle stops again.

Lawsuit Regarding the Honda Idle-Stop Problems

Lawsuit Regarding the Honda Idle-Stop Problems

In recent years, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has scrutinized Honda’s idle-stop system. Two hundred and twenty idle-stop complaints have been received so far.

Several Honda owners have reported issues with the system that shuts off the engine instead of idling, then restarts it when the accelerator pedal is pushed. There is now a class-action lawsuit related to idle-stop being considered by Honda.

What Is The Problem With Honda Auto Idle-Stop?

In the lawsuit, Honda vehicles are accused of posing a serious safety risk because of their idle-stop feature.

Specifically, they claim that when the engine fails to restart after shutting down, it could compromise driver and passenger safety, especially in critical situations.

Which Honda Models Are Part Of The Lawsuit?

Some Honda models don’t start back up when you push the Start button, and some don’t start when you use the acceleration pedal. Among the Honda models affected are the 2016-2020 Honda Pilot, Odyssey, Acura TXL, and Acura MDX.

Idle-stop technology from Honda is described as maximizing fuel efficiency when idling the vehicle. During stop-and-go traffic, for instance, the engine will shut off if you’re stationary for more than two seconds.

Several vehicle functions will continue to work smoothly, including the air conditioning. It is only necessary to release the brake for the engine to start again!”

Is There A Recall On Honda Pilot Auto Start Stop?

A recall for idle stop has not been issued or warranty extensions have not been offered by Honda as of 2023.

Would It Help To Switch Off Honda’s Idle-Stop?

Would It Help To Switch Off Honda's Idle-Stop

The owner can turn off a feature that stops the vehicle from idle. There are certain traffic conditions in which the idle-stop feature may not be useful.

The driver can switch off the system by simply pressing a button at the rear of the transmission’s shift-by-wire control unit.”

Can You Permanently Disable Auto Idle Stop On Honda?

Permanently disabling the auto idle stop feature in a Honda vehicle may not be possible through standard user settings.

Typically, you will need to press the designated button or toggle the setting every time you start the car to turn it off.

Altering or permanently disabling this feature may require advanced technical modifications and is not recommended as it could void your warranty and potentially have unintended consequences.

Can the Dealers Fix The Problem?

Despite Honda being aware of the issue, technicians could not provide a solution. The idle-stop problem appears to continue to affect the car for a while.

Despite Honda’s knowledge of the problem, the lawsuit claims the company won’t issue a recall, will not extend warranties, or will not offer fixes.

According to the lawsuit, one of the biggest concerns is the danger to drivers and passengers posed by sitting idle in traffic. However, it is not necessary for driving. You can disable this feature by simply clicking here.

You can turn your Auto Idle Stop System off permanently with some technicians. In addition, you can find out where this service is offered in your area by visiting the Honda forums.

Final Words

Honda’s auto idle stop system should keep you from incurring additional fuel pump expenses. If you have problems with the system or receive different fault messages, you should address them.

If you suspect that there is a problem with the auto engine idle system, make sure you check all the side problems.

I have had my 2020 Pilot for a little o ver two years and it was fine up until the Auto Idle recall came out and I had it checked. Since then which was about 8 months ago I have been in two serious almost accident, but 4 -5 events, due to my auto idle just shutting down my car, two of which were while turn in intersections. Luckily, in 2 more serious incidence I was making a left turn so I had the light or I could have been hurt or even killed. 1st I was idling at the light, the light changed to green . I proceeded to go and my car stalled out. Couldn’t start it up right away took few minutes. Both times I opened the door & restarted the car which seemed to have worked. 2nd was today 6-2-23 heading onto the highway 65 N after idling for 4 minutes or so at the light. The light changed I took my foot off the break & went to accelerate and the car was dead. I tried to press the start button and nothing was happening. People blasting their horns , I opened the windows to wave them around me. It was several minutes & me opening my car door like I did in the past might have reset the car as it appeared to the last scary event when the car stalled in turning lane. After the car started and I was able to advance onto the highway at the tail end of the green light. It seemed like an hour I was shaken and scared. This needs to be corrected. Carol

Twice at a traffic intersection my pilot had shifted to neutral. And the engine stops. Had to shift to park take my food off the brake then place foot back on brack to restart. Never had this issue till reaching 40,000 miles

June 14, 2023 at 9:57 am

I’m sorry to hear that you’ve had issues with your Honda Pilot’s auto idle. According to carcomplaints.com, the government has opened a federal investigation into Honda Pilot idle-stop problems after receiving more than 220 complaints about engines that failed to restart once the idle-stop systems activated.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) opened an investigation into 2016-2020 Honda Pilots after receiving more than 220 idle-stop complaints about engines that failed to restart1.

Honda has not issued an idle-stop recall or offered to extend warranties for the issue as of yet2.

However, there is a product update available for affected vehicles that includes a PGM-FI Idle Stop Software Update3.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Same exact thing happened to me an hour ago! Idling at red light, turned green lifted my foot off the brake and car turned off and shifted to neutral. My dash said to turn to park – after 2 minutes – feeling like hours with many honking horns and angry drivers around me – I was able to start the car and continue. This isn’t the first time there was a delay or glitch but this was the biggest one! 2019 pilot with 55,000 miles. This absolutely needs to be addressed!

Honda Pioneer 500 Problems (Major Ones And Their Solutions)

  • On January 3, 2024

The major Honda Pioneer 500 problems are related to its transmission. Specifically, these issues include gear slippage, difficulty in shifting gears, and in some cases, the complete failure of transmission.

Now, while transmission problems are certainly a common issue, other issues can also arise with this vehicle (as reported by many Honda Pioneer 500 owners). From problems with the fuel system to issues with the suspension system, the Honda Pioneer 500 is not without its fair share of problems.

So, in this article, we will explore the most common problems reported by Honda Pioneer 500 owners and provide some tips on how to prevent and/or fix them. So, don’t forget to stay tuned till the end.

Table of Contents

Honda Pioneer 500 Major Problems And Their Fixes (At A Glance)

Before going into detail, let’s take a look at the Honda Pioneer 500 major problems from an overall point of view in the table below.

Transmission issuesMust consult a professional mechanic
Stiff suspensionsGetting aftermarket replacements
Low ground clearanceChange the lifting kit, use bigger tires, or adjust the suspension
No storage facility Install Honda roof bag
Fuel pump failureReplacing the fuel pump (aftermarket service)
Taking official service from Honda to replace the fuel pump

Note : The issues mentioned above are pretty much applicable for all year models of the Honda pioneer 500. However, fuel pump failure issues are majorly reported in the 2019 and 2020 models.

Honda Pioneer 500 Problems And Their Fixes (In-depth Discussion)

In this section, we have broken down each of these problems with their causes and their solutions. 

1. Transmission Issues

We can divide the transmission issues observed in the Honda Pioneer 500 into 3 segments:

Gear Shifting Difficulty

Honda Pioneer 500 paddle shift not working properly is a problem observed by many owners of the pioneer 500. 

More specifically, the owners of this vehicle have mentioned that it tends to shift to a “certain gear” on its own, even if you don’t want to shift it.

For example, in many cases, Honda Pioneer 500 shifting problems include the vehicle having a tendency to shift to N (Neutral gear) instead of R (Reverse gear).

Unintentional Gear Slipping

We’ve also observed some reports that state that the gear lever of this vehicle becomes very slippery after a few years of usage. For instance, if you want to shift to gear N (Neutral), it might slip to R (Reverse).

Complete Failure

When transmission fails completely, your vehicle loses its mobility all of a sudden. In cases like that, you won’t be able to drive it and you will have to tow it to take it to a mechanic.

The reason for the above-mentioned problems is likely the leakage of transmission liquids, clogged transmission filters, or worn-out gears. 

You must see a mechanic to solve these transmission-related issues on your Honda Pioneer 500. You might need to change the transmission liquid or replace the transmission gasket. Also, replacing the entire transmission system might be needed. 

2. Stiff Suspensions

Another common problem reported by Honda Pioneer 500 owners is that the suspension is stiff, which can make the ride uncomfortable, especially on rough terrain. The stiff suspension can be caused by several factors, including-

  • Worn suspension components
  • Improperly adjusted suspension
  • Damaged suspension components 
  • Improperly loaded vehicle

To fix the problem of a stiff suspension, it is important to first identify the cause of the issue. You can do this by conducting a thorough inspection of the suspension components and tires, and by adjusting the suspension if necessary. 

Then, if you find any worn or damaged component, you should get it replaced with an aftermarket option.

3. Low Ground Clearance

One of the major problems that some Honda Pioneer 500 owners have reported is the issue of low-ground clearance. 

More specifically, this problem is characterized by the vehicle bottoming out when driving over rough terrain or obstacles. 

This can cause damage to the undercarriage of the vehicle, as well as make it difficult to navigate certain types of terrain.

Having low clearance is a native problem of the Honda Pioneer 500. Since the manufacturer designed the vehicle to have low clearance, you have no other option but to change the lifting kits for significant ground clearance. 

On the other hand, re-adjusting/retuning the existing suspension may also give a little bit of relief. 

Check out this video to have a better idea of how to adjust your suspensions to have optimum ground clearance.

4. Engine Startup Failure

Enormous amounts of reports were filed as Honda Pioneer 500 starting problems . Engine starting can be caused by a variety of factors, including a weak battery, battery deterioration, a faulty starter, or a problem with the fuel system.

A weak battery can cause the engine to crank slowly or not start at all. Plus, a worn brush, faulty solenoid, or a problematic flywheel cause the starter to malfunction.

Lastly, problems with the fuel system (mostly, a problematic fuel pump) can also cause difficulty starting the engine.

Unfortunately, this is not a type of problem that you can combat in a DIY fashion. So you must have a professional mechanic check your Pioneer 500 and replace any problematic parts.

5. Fuel Pump Failure

Some units of the Honda Pioneer 500 model have shown the problem of fuel pump failure (especially the 2019 and 2020 models). 

That’s why Honda has officially recalled its 2019 and 2020 models and has decided to provide free replacement of the fuel pumps.

Check out the official notice released by Honda in 2021:

official notice released by Honda in 2021

In the case of this problem, you will have to acquire the official servicing provided by Honda itself. To check whether your vehicle is eligible to get this free service, you’ll have to contact the official customer care line of Honda and provide them with your VIN. 

The official service authority of Honda will likely run a complete diagnostic and determine the cause of the fuel pump failure in your vehicle. They do this by examining the Honda Pioneer 500 codes (diagnostic codes) that are displayed by the diagnostic machines. 

Now, in case Honda denies you the official free service, you’ll have to install an aftermarket fuel pump to your Honda Pioneer 500 ( our pick: FPF Fuel Pump for Honda ) . You must see a professional mechanic to do that.

Frequently Asked Questions

Let’s get to know some of the frequently asked questions related to this topic:

Is there any specific year model of the Honda Pioneer 500 that I should avoid buying?

The 2019 and 2020 year models have officially shown the most amount of problems, so we suggest avoiding these years. 

Which year models have fewer problems in general for Honda Pioneer 500?

Generally, newer models of the Pioneer 500 have shown fewer problems (except the 2019 and 2020 models) compared to the older ones, so it’s best to buy the newest model of this vehicle. 

Final Words

There are many Honda Pioneer 500 problems reported. All of those are not severe. We have covered most of the critical issues here.

So, you cannot take a DIY approach to solve them. Therefore, you have to see a professional mechanic to solve them permanently. By the way, in most cases, proper maintenance and regular checkup may help you to prevent many problems.
