Car Forum / Honda Cars / October 2004Help Please: "Check Engine" signal lit up!
Hi! Just wanted some tip on my Honda Civic. I got a Civic Hatchback 98 DX, this morning the "Check Engine" light came on and afterwards their was a bad smell of 'eggs' that came from the vents.... Does anyone have any ideas on the problem(s)?? Thanks, Jason >Just wanted some tip on my Honda Civic.

Someone told me that it could be a faulty catalytic converter (sp?) or the battery? I dread going to the garage! Jason >>Just wanted some tip on my Honda Civic.

Last time the "Check Engine" light came on in our 96 Civic it was a bad oxygen sensor. Might be worth checking with the dealer, as Honda issued an extended emissions warranty on 95-99 (I think) Civics -- 14 yr 140k miles. >>>Hi! >>> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > issued an extended emissions warranty on 95-99 (I think) Civics -- 14 > yr 140k miles. but the O2 sensor isnt covered... its a "wear item" like the spark plugs. my $99 code scanner told me which one, and why it was bad (heater circuit malfunction) the helm told me how to check and what the ohm values should be. Or go to a place like Auto Zone (parts place) where they will hook up a scanner for free and let you read the codes... then sell you the parts to fix it (they hope).
