Car Forum / Honda Cars / March 2006check engine light
Can someone please tell me the trick to turning this light off without taking it in to a mechanic. I know how to do it on a Nissan but cant find the information on the Honda. This is a 1994 HOnda Accord that I am trying to get this info on. >This is a 1994 HOnda Accord that I am trying to get this info on. why don't you try opening up a book? no need to be smart its not in the owners manual and I have searched for it online. >no need to be smart its not in the owners manual and I have searched for it >online. OF course it isn't in the owner manual. It isn't a repair book. Go to a library, bookstore, or auto parts store and get a repair book or two (or three) for your car. The shop manual at the dealer is the best, but don't be surprised if it costs a hundred bucks. Chilton or haynes manuals typically run about twenty bucks. Trip to the library is free; but beware of chilton manuals that try to cover every auto ever made. > This is a 1994 HOnda Accord that I am trying to get this info on. I don't know about a 94 Accord, but on a 95 Integra (Civic) there is a pushbutton switch under the dash, near the ignition switch. If you have one of those, press it, turn the key and wait for the light to go off. > Can someone please tell me the trick to turning this light off without > taking it in to a mechanic.

Is the OP talking about a MAINTENANCE REQUIRED light, or the CHECK ENGINE light? Lots of people confuse the two. If it's the Maint light, try here: http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/maintenance-reqd-light.html  SignatureTeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ On 3/7/06 6:10 PM, in article Xns977FC38DB8FCEtegger@207.14.113.17, >>> Can someone please tell me the trick to turning this light off >>> without taking it in to a mechanic.

On most of the newer Hondas you reset it by pulling the 7.5 amp "backup radio" (or on some of them, just "backup") fuse for longer than 10 seconds. my 99 accord pisses me off with the check engine light coming on often the solution is go to ebay get a code scanner i bought a used acutron and am soooo soooo happy get the better model that erases codes vs just read the code for less than $100 no more stress i think there is 2 type of code readers pre 1996 and post 1996 get the right one for your year car any / make model is all the same > i think there is 2 type of code > readers pre 1996 and post 1996 Pre-'96 does not require any sort of code reader. Unless you call a paper clip a "code reader". SignatureTeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
