Original Project 2003 and 2007 Honda Accord F-CAN research and DBCs, looking for independent validation
I've published the F-CAN findings from the 2003 and 2007 four-cylinder automatic Accords used while developing CarStats:
https://github.com/Small-ed1/accord-can-research
There are separate DBC, JSON and CSV maps for each observed vehicle, evidence and corrections, and a Python standard-library offline decoder/auditor. Confirmed, inferred and unknown fields stay distinguished.
One useful detail: engine RPM is the big-endian integer at 0x12C B4:B5, without the OBD-style division by four. The documentation also separates the year-specific checksum and distance conventions, raw versus normalized fuel counts, and throttle feedback from request-like channels.
I'm looking for independent confirmations or counterexamples on another vehicle. For the 2007, the most useful new evidence would be a diagnostic reference for 0x224 B1, metered validation of fuel-counter volume, or a synchronized reference for the accessory/clutch-control candidate. An anonymous summary with the exact field, vehicle configuration and independent reference would help.
These aren't Honda OEM DBCs or a complete specification for every Accord. The published tools are offline-only, and the repository excludes raw trips and identifying vehicle readings. Please use the issue templates for reviewed summaries. The material is publicly readable; no reuse license has been applied.
