Personally, I would just drain and refill and not bother flushing with water unless there’s a rouge brand of coolant in your system. Follow the procedure for draining (radiator, res, and engine block if there’s a plug) and refill with Honda coolant.

I have never used one, but it’s something on my wish list 🙂

i had the same problem about a year ago. turns out it was just a busted o-ring on the hose going going from the reservoir to the pump and air was getting into the system from there. repair cost me around $3 not including the new fluid. if you don’t mind losing some fluid and then adding/bleeding again, it might be a good place to start.
Quoted From elnoyl:
that sounds like a great place to start. Where did you get your new o-ring?
i got the o-rings directly from the dealer.
