cel is on
So i was driving home today and noticed the cel on. Car runs fine etc. I know it could be a number of things... i had the same thing happen to my accord and took it to the dealership and they ran the computer on it and something came up with the catalytic converter...exhaust was fine..these cars just have sensors for everything...that was 2 years ago and car is still running fine to date..Waste of $75 to have them run the computer & shut off the light...So what are my options?? i didn't alter anything since i bought the car.should i try d/c 'ing the battery to reset everything? thanks

Unless you know what your code is right now......
What do you think the chances are that your S2000 has the same problem now as your Accord had?
Do you think because they are both Honda's the have the same problems?
What advise are you expecting?
If it were my car I would get the code.
So I would know what I am resetting.
Does that make sense to you?

The reason i stated about my accord was that it was a minor problem...not suggesting it was the same problem...it just thought it was meaningless to run a scan for 75 bucks shut off my light and say it was just a minor glitch..i was seeking advice as to ways around not getting ripped off by the dealership.

I'm not familiar with US automotive shops but I'm sure there are places where one could "get the code pulled" for less then $75.
Autozone?
Others should chime in to correct me here.
No offence I hope
Let us know what you find.

Maintenance Required Indicator Reset (S2000).
1.) Put key in ignition
2.) Push trip reset button, continue to hold button for 10 seconds.
3.) Turn key to next position.
4.) Hold button for approximately 10 seconds or until light stays off.
The secret is holding the reset button and turning the key to the next position. It does not specify that in the manual
As far as the CEL goes, I agree with Spitfire, you really need to get the DTC (diagnostic trouble code).
