level 1 You can get replacement key plastics online. Ebay is often the easiest place. Most of the time they are <$15. You don't need a new key, just the plastics level 2 Just ordered the fob for $6!!! Your a legend. I’m strugggggling!! This helped sooooo much. Seriously. I’m so glad I posted. Literally saved me so much stress, hassle and money. I was planning to buy a new key when I saved up some money, never lol. I’ve been really scared the key is going to break on me and I’ll loose the metal piece leaving me at the mercy of a locksmith. Can’t thank you enough. level 2 I thought i needed the whole key! I’m gonna check out eBay right now. Do you know if I will be able to program it? Not trying to go to the dealership and amputate an arm and leg lol level 1 Also, if you didn't buy an OEM honda gas cap you might want to, hondas are picky about their gas caps. Key replacement you may be able to have center part of fob just put into a new shell from dealership, it depends on if the immobilizer is intergrated into the case or not. level 2 Exactly this. I replaced my gas cap on my 09 civic recently with a cheap one and it made the problem worse. Also, beware online retails that sell "OEM" parts at low prices they are usually not (ask me how I know lol). What fixed mine was cleaning the old cap and gas tank with some WD40. level 2 I just got the $10 one from autozone definitely not OEM but it fit nicely. The check gas cap message scrolled on the dash a few times before the engine light came on (few days later). The check gas cap message has not reappeared since replacement. So I guess I will unplug battery to reset engine light. if it comes back on I will purchase OEM cap. I’ll have to figure out the immobilizer thing. Someone suggested eBay for plastic replacement. Thank you! level 1 If you don’t a scanner to reset it disconnect the battery. The light isn’t going to shut off on its own level 2 yes some lights do, depending on if the car does the checks again. evap codes can clear themselves if the evap test is ran again and it passes. level 2 Ok cool. I’ll try that now. Thanks level 1 Make sure what check engine ligh code is. As it does have very high miles it could be anything. Get a scanner or go to autozone and use there scanners and see what up with it. If you already took off the check engine light. Dont worry it will come back on when it does use a scanner to see what problems it could have a bunch of engine light codes and this car can turn into a nightmare real quick. That why i stay away from high mileage cars especially with a check engine light on and not scanning them to see if there any codes pending on the ecu good luck to you level 1 Make sure what check engine ligh code is.

The seller told me the engine was rebuilt a year ago but based on how he’s acting I doubt it was actually done. Motherfucker got me. I need new tires, wheel bearings, brakes, spark plugs and one of my control arms is bad. Got my oil done and I’ll be needing a new oil pan because the threads are bad and the place I took it to sealed it up with fucking silicone. It’s already going south fairly quickly. If I could afford anything better…….ya know! But to be fair it is an 07 and I did get it off Craigslist. Just kind of how these things work out when your poor and desperate. For NOW she runs and drives for that, I am grateful. Eddie spent 35 years in the automotive business with Honda. He is an ASE certified master technician and has bruised knuckles to prove it. What should you do if your check engine light comes on? Photo by Danny Sleeuwenhoek on Unsplash "Check Engine" Light On?Your “check engine” light comes on when your car’s onboard computer (or PCM, Powertrain Control Module) records some kind of problem. This onboard computer runs your car so that it has optimum fuel economy and low emissions. The PCM creates a code indicating what part or system is malfunctioning (electrical system, oxygen sensors, and so on). Your tech can get the code from the vehicle and look up its meaning. In the meantime, you’re probably wondering: what are the possibilities? Is there something going on in your car or in your life that triggered this “check engine” situation? Where should a mechanic start looking to find the problem? The First Two Questions to Ask Yourself if the Check Engine Light Is On
10 Diagnostic Questions to Ask If Your "Check Engine” Light Comes OnAfter you've determined if your car is running normally and whether the light is on or flashing, ask the remaining questions.
What Does the Check Engine Light Look Like?Don’t confuse your "check engine" light with your maintenance reminder (a light that goes on automatically to remind you it’s time for a routine service). If you’re not sure, check the index in your owner’s manual, under “warning lights.” "Check engine" light: at left, with a yellow engine-shaped icon (2011 Honda Pilot) This small yellow light (labeled "maintenance indicator") is not the "check engine" light (1991 Honda Accord) eddiecarrara How Long Can You Drive With Your Check Engine Light On?
What Does the Check Engine Light Mean?The check engine light is a light that the engine computer uses to signify that there is something wrong. They are orange, amber, or yellow, and not to be ignored! How to Reset the Check Engine LightThe only way to "reset" the check engine light is by fixing the problem causing it. Thus, the 10 reasons I list below may help you reset your check engine light. Why Is My Check Engine Light on? 10 Reasons Why Your Check Engine Light On1. Has Your Car Been Serviced Recently?If your car has been in the shop recently for service, it’s quite possible the technician has caused your "check engine" light problem. Sometimes a technician will forget to reinstall a connector to a sensor, or not snap the connector back together completely. Or he or she may knock a connector loose while doing a minor service. On older Hondas, the oxygen sensor is directly below the oil filter, so a technician removing the oil filter for a routine oil change might spill oil onto the oxygen sensor. It’s just possible, though not common, that a technician wiping oil off the sensor damaged it somehow. On this 1991 Honda Accord, you can see how the oxygen sensor (little rat-tailed item) is located directly below the oil filter. You can imagine how easy it is to dump oil on it. eddiecarrara Scroll to Continue Read More from AxleAddict2. Have You Fueled Your Car Recently?If you didn’t tighten the fuel cap enough (or forgot to put it on altogether!), it can cause your "check engine" light to come on. All Honda fuel caps have a ratcheting device built into the cap to achieve a good seal and keep you from over-tightening the cap. When tightening your fuel cap, be sure to turn it enough to hear at least three clicks; that ensures the proper torque was applied. If your check engine light is on, simply check your fuel cap to make sure it is turned three clicks. 3. Did You Overfill Your Fuel Tank?If you’re one of those people who like to top off the fuel tank, you need to break that habit, especially if you own a newer Honda. When the gas pump shuts off automatically, the tank is as full as it needs to be. To keep gasoline fumes out of the atmosphere, modern United States cars are required to trap the fumes and recycle them into the engine to be burned. Overfilling the tank can spill fuel into tiny vacuum lines and filters, which in turn can clog emission devices (like the "evap canister" being replaced in the three do-it-yourself videos at the end of this article). Soaking these devices in gasoline will cause the "check engine" light to come on. Replacing the damaged parts could be costly, but the time spent diagnosing the problem could be even more so. 4. Have You Installed Any New Electronic Devices Lately, or Had Them Installed by a Professional?Everyone likes all the new gadgets available for cars these days, like backup cameras, thunder-booming stereos, remote car starters, high-intensity-discharge headlights, and rear entertainment systems, to name a few. It’s just possible that the person installing your device may have blown a fuse, or worse, may have tapped into the wrong wire and caused that dang "check engine" light to come on again. Check to see that all electronics in the vehicle are working properly (e.g. dash light, 12-volt power supply, interior lights). If everything is working properly, I would either test all the fuses (using a test light or a voltage meter is the fastest way to do that) or return the vehicle to the person who did the work. 5. Did Your "Check Engine" Light Come on After Driving Through a Deep Puddle?This isn’t common but it does happen. After driving for a while on the highway, your exhaust can get extremely hot; if you then happen to drive through a deep puddle, it is possible for water to cool the oxygen sensor too quickly and crack the material inside the sensor. The oxygen sensor is located under the vehicle, usually in or near the catalytic converter where the temperature can exceed 600 degrees. If this sounds like your scenario, take your car to the dealer or your local mechanic. You can see both oxygen sensors, front and rear, one in the front pipe before the catalytic converter and the other is in the center of the catalytic converter. If you hit a puddle deep enough, you could actually submerge the sensors. eddiecarrara 6. Do You Have Excessive Humidity in Your Car Caused by a Water Leak?Water on the front or back carpet in your car will often be coming from the front of the car somewhere; water flows towards the back because of acceleration, and because the floor is tapered towards the rear of the vehicle. If the water is only visible on the rear carpet, the leak may be in the rear of the vehicle. The most common cause of a water leak is the windshield; sometimes a newly replaced windshield will leak. If a leaky windshield drips water on an ECU (Engine Control Unit) fuse box or any other control unit, this will cause an ECU failure and your “check engine” light will come on. Water is very damaging to all electronic devices (just drop your smartphone in water and see what happens). 7. Do You Live in a Rural Area Where There Are Lots of Critters?Critters can cause all sorts of problems in cars, from horrible smells to chewed wires. If you live or work in an area where mice, rats, chipmunks. or squirrels can get into your car, they can wreak havoc on your car’s electrical systems. Given the chance, critters will build nests and store food for the winter, and for some reason, they like to chew wires. In fact, some car manufacturers assemble wire harnesses wrapped with mouse-deterrent tape, no kidding. It’s not completely effective but it’s a start. If a critter chews the right wires in your vehicle, it will cause the “check engine” light to come on, and an expensive bill! Replacing a wire harness is daunting and time-consuming. Signs of critters in your vehicle are:
Rodent deterrent tape for wire harnesses Honda 8. Are Other Warning Lights Illuminated on the Dash?In some cases, a failure in another part or system can cause your "check engine" light to come on. Multiple warning lights illuminated on the dash don't necessarily mean multiple problems, so don't panic. The lights could all be caused by a single problem: For example, if your alternator is not charging, or if it’s over-charging, it could cause low or high voltage in the system, which would cause many lights to come on. 9. Did Your Car Sit for a Long Time Without Anyone Driving It?Cars that sit for a long period of time are susceptible to a plethora of problems. Critters move in, batteries go dead, tires go flat, brake rotors become rusted and cause a pulsation when applying the brakes, pulleys rust and cause belts to squeak, and the list goes on. If your car sat for a while, your "check engine" light could come on because a sensor or solenoid is stuck, or for other reasons. Have it checked out by an honest mechanic; they are out there, you just have to find them. 10. Were You the Last One to Drive Your Car?If you were not the last one to drive your car and the "check engine" light is on, you need to start asking questions. Sometimes family members or friends who borrow your car spill soda or coffee on the console without telling you. On some Hondas, the ECM/PCM (engine control unit/powertrain control unit) is located below the center of the console, and sugary drinks can destroy this expensive control unit. If you have a buddy, friend, uncle, or cuz that can check the code because they have a scan tool, make sure you write down the code because if you decide to erase it, you’ll want to know what it was when the light comes back on (and if it’s an issue other than a loose gas cap, the problem will usually come back). It’s good practice for you and good information to give your mechanic. If you want to try and diagnose the problem yourself, you will need to figure out with the diagnostic code is telling you. Here is a guide to understanding the codes. You will also need a scan tool. If you decide to buy one, choose one that will last for years. Vehicles are only getting more sophisticated each year, so plan for the future. The OBD2 system covers 1996 and later cars (the OBD1 system that covers older ones may be included, depending on the device). I recommend looking for these four time- and money-saving features:

Questions & AnswersQuestion: Our 2013 Honda Pilot was saying “check fuel cap” for a few days, so we kept trying to tighten it. Eventually the engine light came on a week later. We replaced the fuel cap with a new one purchased from Honda. The engine light is still on and it was replaced 2 days ago. Does the system need time to reboot itself or should we be getting the car looked at? Answer: If the light doesn't go out within 3 days, you may need to have the system tested for other small leaks in the system or parts that are not working correctly. Question: The engine light came on and showed the check emission system message. I went to AutoZone to check the code. It showed P0420. They said it’s the Catalytic Converter and Exhaust Flange Gasket. I just had my emissions inspection about two weeks ago, and it passed. I filled up with gas yesterday. Is there anything that would cause this that would correct itself? I’m a single mom and want to check anything I can before I spend the money to take it to the shop. Answer: The leaking exhaust gasket could be the cause of your problem. I recommend having that leak fixed first. Then, drive the vehicle for a few days to see if the light goes out on it own. If it doesn't, you may need to have further testing done. It's possible that you only need an O2 sensor, and not the catalytic converter, but the O2 sensors needs to be tested by a mechanic who knows how to test them. Question: Could a broken PCV valve cause the "Check Engine" light to go off? Answer: Yes, if the PCV valve is broken your engine will have a rough idle because of the vacuum leak, and it will cause the check engine light to come on. Question: The check engine light came on in my 2005 Honda Accord. What may be wrong? Answer: There are a lot of things that can cause the check engine light to come on. Some common issues are O2 sensors, evaporative emissions leaks, a loose gas cap, a misfire, spark plugs, low coolant, etc. I recommend having the code checked; it will point you in the right direction. Question: Can a low oil level cause the check engine light to come on? Answer: It's possible because some engine components use oil pressure to work, so if the oil level is low, the component will not work properly. Question: I have a 2011 Honda Accord. Both my engine light and traction control light are on. What could this be? Answer: The check engine light will turn on the traction control light. I recommend getting the code checked because there are a lot of things that can cause the check engine light to come on. Once you know the code it will point you in the right direction. Question: I had my car serviced after the check engine light came on. They said it was fixed, but when I drove it, the light came back on. I took it back again and they worked on it. When I got it back, the check engine light was out. I had my emissions inspection and they noticed the check engine light was not lighting up. I think the mechanic disconnected it. How can I tell if he disconnected it? Answer: Every time you start the car, the check engine light should illuminate then go out - this is called a bulb check. If the mechanic disconnected the light, you will not see it when starting the engine. Question: I have a 2006 Honda Oydessy. The check engine light came on and showed all cylinders misfiring. We changed all ignition coils and spark plugs. Do codes need to be cleared in order for the light to go off? Answer: Yes, or drive the car for three complete drive cycles, the engine starts at cold and all the way to operating temperature, then back down to cold is one cycle. If the code does not clear after three drive cycles, you may have more than one problem. Question: Today when I started up my 2000 Honda Civic LX, the engine light went on. I just had a new distributor installed last week. While driving it today, there was no noise, and it had power. I did fill the gas tank up yesterday, and I did hear the gas cap click a few times. Today is Sunday. So my mechanic has not looked at it, or knows what is going on. What do you think??? Answer: If the engine is running well at idle and when driving, most likely you have an evaporator leak in your emissions system. The code your mechanic will probably be either a P01456 or P01457, canister or canister vent shut valve. Question: I have a 2009 Honda CR-V and the oil pressure switch and timing chain was replaced and the check engine light is still on? What could be? Answer: There are several reasons for the check engine light being on, you will need to have the code read from the cars data link connector, once you have the code it will point you in the direction of the problem. Question: I have a 2002 honda civic ex-coupe. My check engine light was on a couple of days ago so I put engine coolant in the reservoir, and the light went off shortly after driving it later that day. Now the check engine is back on. What could be the problem? Answer: I don't think it had anything to do with the coolant. You'll need to have the code checked and it will point you in the right direction. Question: I have a 1999 Honda Accord LX with 74,000 miles. The check engine light is on, but the engine runs smooth. I've changed the vacuum canister and solenoid valve, and have a new gas tank cap. When I reset the light it stays off for a while but then comes back on, what could it be? Answer: Not all check engine lights are caused by a leak in the evaporative system or gas tank. Sometimes it's caused by an O2 sensor, misfire, spark plug, spark plug wires, etc. If you know the code it would help to diagnose your issue. Question: I "topped off" my gas tank and my engine light has been flashing along with the non-flashing, triangular VSA warning for five days and approximately 45 miles. My car runs fine, no unusual noises, etc., though I do not get the usual ECO light for economy fuel use. If this was caused by overfilling the gas tank, will the problem vanish on its own? If not, how do I find a mechanic familiar with the computerized warning system? Answer: If the check engine light is flashing, this means you are doing damage to the catalytic converter, and the car should be towed to a garage. I recommend the manufacturer's garage because they have the tools to diagnose the system. The problem you are having is not caused by overfilling the gas tank. Your engine is misfiring and is not burning all the fuel that is going into the cylinder, that's why the light is flashing: it's warning you that there is a damaging problem. Question: I have a 1996 Honda Accord and the engine light is flashing and when I stop at a red light the car shakes and it feels like it is going to die what can the problem be? Answer: Whatever it is, you shouldn't drive it with the check engine light flashing, you could cause more damage. You'll need to have the code checked to give you an idea of what the failure is. Question: My 1998 Honda Accord LX engine light came on this morning and isn't going off; it's not blinking at all. What do you think the problem is? Answer: It could be anything from an O2 sensor to an EVAP canister leak. Have the code pulled and it will point you to the problem area. Question: My husband and I want to buy a Honda accord 2007 with 214,000 miles for $6,000. During the test drive, they had to jump the battery which caused the radio to need a code, and when I turned on the heater the engine light came on. Do I have something to worry about? Answer: Yes, you're paying too much for a car that has 214,000 on the engine and transmission. I recommend finding something with a little less miles for that price. Question: My 2008 Honda Odyssey engine light came on, and a few weeks later started flashing. There is some light blue fluid coming out. What could the problem be? Answer: If there is light blue fluid leaking I recommend you get that checked first, it's possible you're low on coolant. The check engine light flashing may be something different or could be connected with the coolant leak. I recommend you have the vehicle towed to a garage and had these things checked before driving it again; I would hate to see you damage the engine by driving it. Question: I have a 2013 Honda Accord Sport. I disconnected the battery, and the check engine light turned on. I thought it was because the readiness codes cleared off. I heard when this happens the light blinks and then turns off, but mine is still on, no flashing or anything. Could the readiness codes keep it on until all the codes are back to normal, or is it something else? Answer: Drive your car for a few days. If the light doesn't go out, have the code checked, but drive it for a few days first; it may be something simple. Question: My 1995 Accord EX check engine light is on, could this cause my car to shut off when I stop? Answer: Absolutely, It could be a fouled spark plug, inoperative coil, faulty fuel injector, etc... It really depends on what is causing the problem. Check how the engine is running. If it's skipping or hesitating that's a definite red flag. Question: The engine light on my Honda 2011 Pilot is on, and the D light for drive was flashing, but my car still runs regularly. The ECO light also turns on and off as I drive. What's the problem? Answer: It all depends on the code stored in the PCM. If it's a misfire code, most likely you'll need piston rings; it's very common on the 2011s. When the "D" light flashes, it means you have a transmission code that could be a solenoid malfunction. Question: After driving for about 20 miles on the freeway, the check engine light on my 2010 Honda Accord started flashing. When I stopped the car, I felt the car shake and rumble, but it operated fine while driving. I looked up the symbol in the manual, and it says something might be wrong with the emissions Is this possibly it? Should I take my car to the local mechanic I use or to Honda? What do you think might be wrong and what are the possible costs to fix it? Answer: There are a few possibilities for this scenario. It could be a fouled spark plug, inoperative coil, faulty fuel injector, piston rings, etc. The check engine light is flashing because there is a misfire and it could be causing damage to the catalytic converter. I recommend having the Honda dealer check the code and give you an estimate of the cost of the repair. Question: I have a problem no one can solve. It's been going on for maybe the past two years. The fuel cap will go on. Then a couple of days later, the check engine light goes on. I have tried new fuel caps twice. Now, the lock doesn't work. I am wondering if there is some electrical problem going on? Answer: If you know the code, it will point you to the problem. Question: The check engine light on my Honda CR-V 1997 went on recently. The car runs fine. I brought it to the mechanic, and he told me there is an issue with my airbags? However, I thought the SRS light indicates an issue with seat belts or airbags. What do you think? Answer: Find a new mechanic, the SRS light is the warning system for the airbags and seat belts. Have another mechanic pull the code from your computer, and you will be able to diagnose it from there. Question: I had fueled my car, and the same day the engine light came on. I don't top off. I phoned the dealership, and they said to unwind gas cap and put it back on. I did, but the light is still on. Today, I am replacing the relay/ fuse for the air conditioner; it has been blowing warm air after the first ten minutes of cold air. What is your advice on the engine light issue? Answer: For the check engine light problem, you'll need to have the code pulled from the computer if the light doesn't go out after three days of driving. If it were a gas cap code it would clear itself in about three days after the problem was fixed (tightening the gas cap). The AC issue is most likely a problem with the compressor clutch. The compressor clutch is most likely worn, and the gap is too wide to engage after the compressor is warm. The fix is to replace the AC compressor clutch or complete compressor assembly. Question: My 2008 Civic's check engine light came on today. I read your article and none of it seems to apply. It seems to be running fine? Answer: If the engine is running normal then the problem may be in the canister side of the emission system. I recommend having someone read the code on the cars computer with a scan tool to find out the code. Once you know the code it will point you in the right direction on what is failing in your vehicle and is causing the light to be on. Question: I filled up my 2012 Honda pilot, and the check engine light came on, why? Answer: Maybe you didn't tighten the gas cap three clicks? The only way to know for sure is to have the code pulled from the computer. If it is the gas cap, tighten it three clicks and drive the vehicle for three days, if that was the problem, the light should go off, if not you'll need to have the code pulled. Question: I have a 2002 Honda CRV changed the starter, alternator, and air hose - the check engine light comes on before starting and doesn't go off. The car is running well. Is it merely a reset that is needed, or should I recheck everything? Answer: Definitely recheck everything, drive it for 3 days, if the light doesn't go out, have the code checked. Question: I have a 02 Accord, 4 cylinder. I am getting the p1259 VTEC code, but the vVTEC assembly is ok. Also, the distributor is not getting power to the plugs. Could both these problems stem from a bad ECM or PCM? Answer: Not usually, no. I recommend having the distributor base checked for any play in the shaft and also check the ignitor. If all looks good, check the main relay under the dash on the driver's side near the steering column. Question: I'm traveling from MI to CA. I got as far as Nebraska, when someone nearly ran me off the road, and I suddenly had to accelerate. That's when the check engine light came on. The fluids are good, and the car was running fine prior. What could be the problem? Answer: The check engine light can come on for a lot of different reasons. I recommend having it checked with a code reader, and this will point you to the problem. Question: I have a 2003 Accord that has not been driven for a while. The check engine is on, and the car is suddenly shaking. What could be the cause? Answer: I recommend checking for any rodent damage or any signs there are rodents living in the vehicle and chewing wires: https://youtu.be/ZWd6XEszacQ. Question: I took my '93 Honda Accord LX to get smogged and they did something to make the check engine light come on but now it won't go off. What could the problem be? Answer: I'm not sure what the mechanic did to cause the light to come on, but if it was an intermittent failure the light should go off after three days or three complete drive cycles. Question: I have my Honda Civic EX 2000 with the Check engine light go on. I brought it be diagnosed, and the result is P-0505 = idle air control valve system. I'm a retiree, and don't have money to buy another or get it properly fixed. What should I do? Exactly what part should I purchase if I want to fix it myself? Answer: I have a link here from Youtube that will help you identify the IAC valve. It is located on the throttle body between the firewall and intake; it has one electrical connector and two coolant hoses. https://youtu.be/7DB-gtplptI Question: What does code 6111 mean on a Honda Accord 2013? Answer: That would be a generic code and it doesn't even sound right for a generic code. P0600 would have something to do with the data link connector communication. Question: I'm driving a Honda Jazz 09. Whenever I hit a medium hump on the road, the check engine light comes up, and the transmission becomes stagnant (meaning it doesn't shifts up). If I hit the gas a bit harder, the RPM goes up. I found a quick fix, but I'm not satisfied with it. I usually re-start the car (around 3-4 times) then the check engine light goes off. Is this just a loosened sensor? Answer: It does sound like a loose connection. I recommend checking all of the connections to the transmission, and I mean inspecting each connector closely for any corrosion or damaged pins. I also recommend checking the fluid condition. If it's very dirty, you may have debris clogging a port, and when you hit a bump, it becomes dislodged. This is just a thought, but it's worth checking. Question: I have a 1997 Honda Civic DX, and the automatic check light is on. The vehicle runs great but has small slag in it. What do think it could be, maybe the throttle position sensor is causing the slag and maybe use of gas? Answer: If you know the code it will point you in the right direction. There are a lot of things that can cause a hesitation like an O2 sensor, spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap and rotor, distributor base, valve adjustment, etc. If you know the code, you'll find the problem. Question: My 2007 Pilot check engine light came on today. I just changed the low beam headlight yesterday, could this be why? What could cause this to happen? Answer: It's not the headlight replacement. Have an auto parts store check the code and it will guide you to the problem. What does check engine light mean on Honda Civic 2007?A steady glow typically means something less serious but a flashing check engine light indicates that your vehicle's engine is in serious trouble and service is needed immediately. If your check engine light is flashing in your Honda Civic, we highly recommend not to drive the vehicle and schedule Honda service today.
