I posted this a couple weeks ago.

I reseted my ecu and drove another 2000+ miles and the CEL came on again. Gas cap is tight.

I'm thinking O2 sensor maybe.


How do I check to see what the code is?

I went to Honda and they said the ONLY way was to hook it up to a PGM thingamajig . I don't feel like paying them $45 to tell me what the code is when I know theres a way to do it myself. Every Honda I've owned and worked on had a way!!!

 

$45? to just check the code? its not that hard to just plug up the OBDII scanner and see what it says.. most shops should have a scanner so check with others

 

I was just wondering about picking up one of those. I have the helms manuals. When I was fighting the yellow box/CEL problem even tho I installed it down under, I knew thats what was kicking it off but i would like to have known for sure without a trip to honda.

Maybe there's a place we can get them cheaper? Group Buy? hmmmm

So theres no way to use a "jumper" like on other Hondas?

On my old civic and my friends civics we just use a "jumper" on one of the plugs and check how many times the CEL blinks.

Just can't find that plug on the S2000.

 

If you have an AutoZone car parts place nearby, they'll do a scan for FREE!

We have them all over the place in Texas.

Good luck!
