problem #3

Accord LX 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 75,000 miles

First off, this car is under 75,000 miles. City driven and regular maintenance ever 2500 miles. in ten years.
The check engine light started coming on around 25,000 miles about 4 years ago. Every visit to the dealer they would reset it and after about 6 months it would come back on again. They never offered an explanation. We just thought it was like a factory warning sign that said the car was due for regular maintenance.
The State of Illinois EPA is asking for the emissions after it failed once.
Now the car is ten years old and the warranty is expired. Maintenance is expensive so we opted to change the Catylitic converter for a universal one at a muffler shop and got new sensors and pulled the #13 fuse for 20 seconds. Still the check engine is coming back. The EPA here will automatically fail the car if the check engine light is on.
The car still has a million miles to go before it dies and the current condition is good to new.

Accord LX V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 120,000 miles

I purchased a used Honda Accord in June of 2006. The check engine light is on and it won't go off. Someone told me to remove my battery and then put it right back in and it would go off. I did and it went off for about a day. I've had my car put on machines so many times to see if my engine actually does need to be checked and there's nothing wrong with it. I guess it's a defect the honda manufacturer made.

The check engine light had a code for the egr. Silko Honda changed the cat, egr, o2 sensor returned the car. One day later the light was back on. It was a new code caused by sloppy work at the dealer
