Check engine light on can we fix it?

This is how you check your own cel (Check Engine Light), at home, without driving to a mechanic, auto store, dealer. Numbers for the light are listed farther below. 5 Easy to Follow Steps: 1) Get a CEL 2) On the passener side, remove the kick panel at the floor. Behind it, is your ecu and a jumper plug.

3) Locate the jumper plug (Civic 92-95 is grey, 96-00 its blue). Its a 2 pin plug. (I am not sure if the connector is in the same location for all hondas..I assume so - I dont know all the connector colors...) For EK, there is 1 brown wire and 1 black wire

For EG, there is 1 tan wire and 1 green

4) WITH THE CAR OFF, insert either a 2pin connector clip, or loop a thin enough piece of wire into both holes on the connector. 5) Back in the driver's seat, turn the key to the 'ON' position. The CEL light will come on at startup, like normal, but it will then begin to flash. **By counting the number of flashes, you can decipher the CEL #. SHORT flashes are single digits (1/2 second) LONG flashes are 10's (1 second) CEL # List 1 O2A - Oxygen sensor #1 2 O2B - Oxygen sensor #2 3 MAP - manifold absolute pressure sensor 4 CKP - crank position sensor 5 MAP - manifold absolute pressure sensor 6 ECT - water temperature sensor 7 TPS - throttle position sensor 8 TDC - top dead centre sensor 9 CYP - cylinder sensor 10 IAT - intake air temperature sensor 12 EGR - exhaust gas recirculation lift valve 13 BARO - atmospheric pressure sensor 14 IAC (EACV) - idle air control valve 15 Ignition output signal 16 Fuel injectors 17 VSS - speed sensor 19 Automatic transmission lockup control valve 20 Electrical load detector 21 VTEC spool solenoid valve 22 VTEC pressure valve 23 Knock sensor 30 Automatic transmission A signal 31 Automatic transmission B signal 36 traction control found on JDM ecu's 41 Primary oxygen sensor heater 43 Fuel supply system 45 Fuel system too rich or lean 48 LAF - lean air fuel sensor 54 CKF - crank fluctuation sensor 58 TDC sensor #2 61 Primary oxygen sensor 63 Secondary oxygen sensor circuit 65 Secondary oxygen sensor heater wire (black wires) 67 Cat Converter 71 random misfire cylinder 1 72 random misfire cylinder 2 73 random misfire cylinder 3 74 random misfire cylinder 4 80 EGR Valve/Line 86 ECT sensor - Cooling System 91 Fuel Tank pressure sensor 92 EVAP Solenoid/Valve/Vacuum Lines

Thank you for you info. It was accurate and very helpful. On my 2000 civic it was a blue connector with black and brown wires. The hardest part was getting it out of that rubber green holder-anyone else reading this be careful to not damage the connector while trying to pull it out. I almost broke mine. Thanks again.

No problem ricocm! I'm glad the article assisted you.
