My check engine light was flashing yesterday and now it's off, and today my red oil change light was flashing earlier and then stopped?
What does that mean? I drive a Honda Accord, if that helps. My car is driving fine (just a slight jerking every now and then, but that's another issue i'll get fixed).
The fact that it did that then stopped worries me… Help?!
Rather than wondering or guesses you may get here, it's best to look in the owners manual for that vehicle… If you don't have one, then look online for one
If your Honda is from the early 2000's those were particularly plagued with transmission problems that never could be completely resolved. You should have an OBD2 code check done to see what the problem is with your Honda. Using an OBD code reader is easy. Car part stores will pull codes free and make sure you write down any codes that come out exactly as they appear, then look up their definitions.OBD2 is your friend who will never lie to you.
The check engine light could have went out. First, check & see if it comes on when you put the key in before you fully crank it.
Make sure its not low on oil too.
It means either the diagnostic system is getting multiple intermittent errors, or the diagnostic system is failing.
In either case, you NEED to have a qualified technician diagnose the problem.
You are so worried that you go online and ask strangers for help. Before long the next thing to stop? Will be the car.
Change the oil and oil filter and reset the maintenance light. See a mechanic if the CEL stays ON when the engine is running.
The red oil light is a low pressure warning, not an oil change reminder. In Hondas, a flashing oil pressure light means the oil pressure is unstable. By itself it usually means the sender is bad but in combination with the flashing CEL I suspect a bad engine ground. Unless things have changed in whatever year Accord you have, Honda favors a separate ground wire that often attaches under one of the nuts that hold the valve cover(s) on.
Did you even check the oil level on the dipstick yet?
Sounds to me as if you are not changing the oil and filter every 3,000 miles or even checking your oil level between oil changes. Good way to blow your motor up.
When the CEL flashes the motor is misfiring bad and in need of new spark plugs. Don't drive with warning lights flashing! Tow the vehicle to the dealer. You will need help when you're walking home after the car fails and strands you.
Hi so now it needs a honda dealer.
- 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?
- Flashing check engine light on 02 Honda Oddyssey after Valvoline oil change? Got an oil change at Valvoline, and next day check engine light began flashing. Car was running flawlessly before oil change. They suggested a new fuel filter, as mine was pretty rough. I declined. Got error codes of random misfire, as well as cylinder 1,2,4,6 misfire. Scanner at auto zone listed EGR valve as suggested part. Could this possibly be that the fuel filter is bad or was put back on incorrectly?
- Honda crv 1998, automatic. Engine light came on yesterday. Still on today? Car cranks slower ever since engine light came on. Other then that car works fine. Last year I had my spark plugs changed and timing belt
