My check battery and oil light came on red. Then turned off?
When I was leaving out when I turn my car on the oil and Battery lights were on red and my car wouldn't move.
then I turned it off and restarted it and then the lights went away and then I turned it off and restarted again and the same thing the lights were gone. What does that mean?
I have a Honda Accord.
Maybe it failed to start or a glitch.
It means that the first time your engine stalled, dipstick. That's why it wouldn't move and why the warning lights were on.
Your car just stalled. Nothing wrong with your car. Cars will do that when the engine is cold.
When the engine is not turning, the parts powered by the engine aren't getting any energy to do their job. That means the alternator doesn't generate electricity, and the oil pump inside the engine doesn't circulate oil. Either of those would be bad when the motor is running, hence the warning lights.
If it turned off, then what's the problem?
Have you bothered to check the oil level? Or had the battery checked? That is what those lights tell me.
I think you should still get it looked at just in case.
You have a battery light? High end vehicle there. Take it to a shop & have them look. All I have on mine is a oil light & heat gage.
When the ignition is ON, but the engine NOT RUNNING, then there's NO OIL PRESSURE and the CHARGING SYSTEM is not charging. So the OIL light comes on and the BATTERY light comes on.
When you start the engine, the oil pump turns and there's oil pressure. The OIL light turns off.
When you start the engine, the alternator turns and the charging system operates. The BATTERY light goes off.
You need some very BASIC car usage instruction, because if one of your gauges indicates a problem, you won't understand what it means, and you may injure your engine.
Hi so when you insert the key and turn the system on. The electronic control system does a quick check which usually means all the indicator lights come on briefly. When they go off it has done it's check. So was that the issue.
- 2004 Honda Pilot! I did an oil change today check the manual for the engine oil capacity, it is 4.8 liters and put 4.4 liters and add .5 ltr? Total engine oil put is 4.9 liters and I'm surprised the dipstick is above the second hole by 10mm. Is it overfill or do i need to remove some?
- Check engine light, open door light, and batterie light all came on and won't go off? 2000 Honda Odyssey I already had the altinator replaced it a month old. The batterie almost a year old. Would the belt need be changed or something else?
- Check engine light turns on for a few days and then turns off for weeks/months? Code P0420 on a 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid? Over the last year my check engine light has come on about 3 or 4 times for a few days at a time and then turns off again for a very long period of time. I know the code means my catalytic converter is below threshold but why would it turn off? Could it be something else? Should I look into replacing it or wait it out? Any advice is appreciated!
- Bought a 2006 Honda Civic ex about a month ago, the check engine light came on and it was throwing code p0133 o2 sensor slow response? Bank 1 sensor 1. Now I checked again and it's a P0171 code as we'll System Too Lean Bank 1 . My friend looked at it and said it's my oxygen sensor. Could that be the reason, and is that way it threw the other code as well? The car runs pretty good, does guzzle has a little.
