The yellow ck engine light came on over the weekend. Checking one of the messages on the site give me this location http://vbxmaxima.8m.com/ecu.html which provided the how to. Unfortunately, on my 99 SE-L the adjustment can't be done by a flat bladed screwdriver as the adjustment is not a screw but a small star wheel assembly. Interesting to note, the outside covering that covers the adjustment access is marked 'idle adjustment and self diagnosis's. Getting to the starwheel to adjust is proving impossible so back to the dealer.

Anyone run into this?? Car has 65k on it and had new plat plugs and 6 new ignit. coils put on about 9k ago

Unless you're in California, run over to your local AutoZone
and they'll pull the code for free and reset the light. Chances
are it's just an O2 sensor acting up, and if it's a rear one, it's
no big deal.

Go to AutoZone, they'll do it for free. The dealer here(North Suburb
of Chicago) wanted $99.
