check engine

my check engine light shows and i have 180xxx miles my mechanic said it could be the o2sensor is my car fine?

You can ride with the cel... but you wont pass any emissions test...o2 sensors arent that expensive, and are pretty easy to change.. just pick on up and change it..

you can always go to autozone and if the car is obd 2 then can scan it too make sure it is the o2 sensor. Pick on up while you are there.

[chris_agu28]

No problem, Hondas are easy to understand and great learner cars.

 

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

Pull the code.

[cranny]

you dont need autozome , you can get the codes out of the car yourself easily.

[jcfbaby]

how do you get the codes out your car?

[alex37211]

If you don't have a diagnostics reader, take it to autozone and they will get them for free. They just wont tell you what they mean. You can find out on line though.

behind your passenger kick panel , theres a rubber clip holder. inside that clip holder if its never been out , is a blue 2 pin connector. take it out , cross those 2 wires by jamming a piece of wire or paper clip in both sides. turn the key to on position , bt not starting it , and the engine light will flash the codes , long blink=10 , short blink=1.

what :cranny: says is whut i agree with~!~

[lceah]

the blinking thing is awesome...only doesn't work if you have a very short attention span <---me hehe

 

I just go get the obd reader and look up the codes from the list I carry in my purse...
