Hi guys,
My CEL came on 2 days ago and I didn't rip the car up or anything. I resetted the ECU yesterday and it was fine until this morning and came back on again. What could be the problem? Anything I can check myself without bringing it to Honda? I don't know if its the gas cap thing...I turn it for like 10-15 clicks before I pulled the fuse. The car's running fine just that the light is bothering me. Do I need to take it back to Honda?

 

Is your car still under warranty?

If not, you might want to just pay the $25 bucks for a new gas cap. (it's cheaper than getting the dealer to diagnos it)

 

I believe Beachbum aka Ron < ahem > is the new authority on that one

hey...did you refuel gas earlier in the morning? or very recently?
my engine light went on several times after i first gotten my car...
took it back to the dealership and they said it's because the gas cap is not tighten enough..

there's an article here that teaches u how to reset the ECU...it's not hard at all...
try reset it...open the gas cap and tighten it again...if still goes on then i suggest u take it back to the dealership unless the car has no more warranty..

 

Thanks....I resetted everything AGAIN and now it stays off

 

Gas cap.....ask Mike. <---- This is my new standard reply for CEL questions.
