Honda Accord Vehicle Data API: Signals & Model Years

DIMO gives developers API access to Honda Accord vehicle data. Model years 2012 and newer connect with a DIMO device (DIMO LTE R1 or AutoPi). Headline signals include odometer, fuel percentage and vehicle speed.

DIMO gives developers API access to vehicle-state data: diagnostics, fault codes, battery and fuel health, odometer, and maintenance signals. For the Honda Accord, the connection type is a DIMO device, covering model years 2012 and newer, and this coverage has been tested. You read the data through the Telemetry API, a GraphQL API, using a Vehicle JWT for each vehicle the owner has shared with you.

No factory connectivity?

Honda Accord model years 2012 and newer have no OEM cloud connection listed. For these years, a DIMO device (DIMO LTE R1 or AutoPi) plugs into the OBD-II port and streams vehicle signals once the owner connects it and consents to sharing.

See the developer quickstart for how owners connect vehicles and grant access.

New diagnostic trouble code

Build it

Query the latest Honda Accord signals with the DIMO TypeScript SDK. The vehicle owner must first share access with your app through DIMO Connect.

import { DIMO } from '@dimo-network/data-sdk';

const dimo = new DIMO('Production');
const tokenId = Number(process.env.DIMO_TOKEN_ID); // from DIMO Connect

const developerJwt = await dimo.auth.getDeveloperJwt({
  client_id: process.env.DIMO_CLIENT_ID,
  domain: process.env.DIMO_REDIRECT_URI,
  private_key: process.env.DIMO_API_KEY,
});
const vehicleJwt = await dimo.tokenexchange.getVehicleJwt({
  ...developerJwt,
  tokenId,
});

// Latest Honda Accord signals
const data = await dimo.telemetry.query({
  ...vehicleJwt,
  query: `
    query {
      signalsLatest(tokenId: ${tokenId}) {
      powertrainTransmissionTravelledDistance {
        value
        timestamp
      }
      powertrainFuelSystemRelativeLevel {
        value
        timestamp
      }
      speed {
        value
        timestamp
      }
      }
    }`,
});
console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));

FAQ

Can I read fuel level remotely on a Honda Accord?

Yes, with a DIMO device. The record lists fuel level as a percentage and in liters, and you query it through the Telemetry API with a Vehicle JWT.

How do I track a Honda Accord with no connected services?

Use a DIMO device, which is the connection type listed for this vehicle. Once the owner shares the vehicle with you, exchange your Developer JWT for a Vehicle JWT through the Token Exchange API and query the Telemetry API.

Can I get check-engine light alerts for a Honda Accord?

The record lists a dtc event for the AutoPi DIMO device on this vehicle. To receive events as they happen, configure a webhook in the Vehicle Triggers API, which sends a POST request to your HTTPS target URL when your condition is met.

How do I detect idling on a Honda Accord?

Idling is a listed event for the DIMO LTE R1 device. Query the Telemetry API segments resource with the idling detection mechanism, which the documentation says requires a DIMO device.

How do I verify Honda Accord mileage?

The odometer signal is available through a DIMO device. Request an odometer statement from the Attestation API, then retrieve the resulting verifiable credential through the Telemetry API.

Which Honda Accord model years work with DIMO?

DIMO devices have been seen working on Honda Accord model years 2012 and newer. For older vehicles, contact DIMO for additional support.

Do I need hardware to get Honda Accord data?

Yes. DIMO lists no OEM cloud connection for the Honda Accord, so data comes from a DIMO device.
