Didn't charge a thing. I had the cat replaced there and the light came on after that (no idea why). I just took it in and said the light was on since they did the work. Tech brought the computer out to the parking lot, hooked it up, did the neutralization and the code went away. Maybe if you go in and mention what I went through and ask them to try it they'll just do it for you.

The neutralization or reset procedure is listed here somewhere. It can be done with a paperclip shorting a couple of pins on the OBD2 port and performing some tasks. I know I did it but can't remember just how or find my notes. I didn't actually use a paperclip but did short one connector to ground via a fused wire and followed the procedure. Hopefully some with a better set of notes will respond.

Default Update

I have an appointment to take it to dealership Friday, I will see if they can reset it all and give me any other info on the car. While it’s at the dealership anything in particular I should have them do besides an oil change? Currently sitting just over 168,xxx miles bought from dealer so don’t have much as far as history.

Get a valve adjustment done. 2006+ AP2s are known to have the valve clearances tighten up on the exhaust side resulting in burnt valves. You can search more about it

Waiting for car to be pulled up. So they hooked me up with oil change but had to charge to do the neutralizing for the speed sensor I replaced. And said rear diff needed fluid change. Hopefully i can drive now without any issues! Will post update once I get some miles like 100 on it. Also advisor said cars are really good and to make sure to engage VTEC often as that is main issue is carbon build up.

I had mine taken into and they did the VSA alignment sensor reset thing. That fixed the triangle light for me.

It seemed to be fixed, but then I got 3 miles down the road and my s2000 started to shake violently. I pulled over called dealership and brought it back in. No lights came on but it was shaking badly. Now I wait until they can check it out. Can’t wait to have my s2000 totally fine to just enjoy it!

That's weird. Let us know what that is.

I wonder if the wheels were removed and the lug nuts not fully torqued when they were replaced.
