Car Forum / Acura Cars / April 2007ODBC II engine codes
I have a 1997 Acura Integra 1.8 L (non VTEC) with a check engine light on. My code reader shows the following four codes. P0302 = Cyl. 2 misfire P0304 = Cyl. 4 misfire P1300 = random misfire P1399 = Wait to start lamp circuit Can anyone enlighten me as to what the last one really means?

I downloaded those four codes from my ODBC II engine code reader. My book and software that came with the reader both state that the codes "P0" prefixes are generic and lists the descriptions. The last two are manufacturer specific. I searched around on the net and found a listing here. http://www.2carpros.com/trouble_codes/trouble-code-P1300-P1399.html P1399 is listed at the bottom of the page.

The version installed on your car is #2, hence the acronym "OBD-II". An error code itself is known as a "DTC", for "Diagnostics Trouble Code". > engine code reader.

They are EPA-mandated, and are supposed to be the same between all manufacturers and models. In practice, only the ranges are identical (P03xx is always a misfire, P04xx is always exhaust-related, etc). But the specific codes may mean slightly different things from maker to maker. > and lists the descriptions. The last two are manufacturer > specific.

P1xxx is a manufacturer-specific code. Honda does not use P1399, but some other manufacturers do. You are consulting a list of manufacturer- specific codes for some other manufacturer, not Honda. If your reader is in fact reporting P1399 and no other untoward symptoms manifest, then you need to have the codes re-checked by somebody with a Honda-specific code reader, such as your dealer. Either you are receiving a false report from a non-compatible reader, or the ECM is defective. I lean towards the former.

I added the "C" out of habit. I also write computer software ODBC is "Object DataBase Connectivity". Anyway I understand the diagnostics acronym but I am not any closer to understanding what the last code means. I'll contact Acura. Thanks, Mark > You're right sorry for the slip.

Honda DOES NOT USE code P1399. You are reading a code that it is not possible for your ECM to store or report. Take the car to somebody who has a code reader that explicitly recognizes HONDA/ACURA error codes. Honda and Acura dealers have such equipment, as do independent shops that specialize in Hondas.

AutoZone, PartSource and other chains will read the code for you for free. Try that first and see what codes they come up with.
