DC5R Engine Light (Yellow Light)

[MYDC5R]

ummm, O2 sensor heater maybe???

No as in my actual heater.. lol... Not the O2 Sensor
That's what was really odd about it.
But ECU has been recet and so far it's all good but will know in the coming days

O2 sensor has a heater element inside it, designed to get to operating temp of o2 sensor faster. Common fault on lots of different cars for the heater element to fail yet o2 sensor will work fine when it reachs operating temps.

is that what you 'mechanic' told you?

[TeMp]

Better still, did the mechanic tell you the exact error code that came up?

You can then look up this error code to see what it is.

Auto electrician. Not mechanic.
Thats what he told me.
Going to be starting my car shortly so will see if it comes up again, he goes if it does just bring it in again, he's a good mate of mine so he wouldn't stinge me around.

So i take his word, i do agree i should of asked for the code though

[MYDC5R]

Warning light has come back on.....

Reporting something do with the heater, ive passed a phone call to my auto elec now.. he told me that it didn't report the oxygen sensor (O2) so it isn't that...
Could it possibly be the climate control?

[tinkerbell]

no. i doubt it.

malfunctions relating to the climate control are indicated via the climate control MIL - not the "check engine" light...

How to Read Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC’s)

1. Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) aka Check-Engine Light (CEL) comes on while engine is running – this indicates something is wrong and the ECU has stored a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).

2. Turn the engine OFF. Locate the OBDII Data Link Connector (DLC) under the driver’s side dash (in the RSX, it is in the vicinity of your right knee when you are driving). Use a jumper wire to connect terminals 4 and 9 of the DLC. IMPORTANT: Make sure you are connecting only the correct terminals as shown, otherwise you risk causing electrical damage to the ECU!





3. Turn the ignition key to the ON (II) position, but do not start the engine.

4. Carefully observe the CEL. It will flash in a distinct manner to display any DTCs that are stored (if there are no codes stored, the CEL will not flash). The pattern of flashes indicates a one- or two-digit numeric code. The first digit of the code is represented by long flashes. The second digit of the code is represented by short flashes. A zero is represented by a brief pause. For example, four long flashes followed by five short flashes is code 45. One long flash followed by a pause is code 10.

5. If there is more than one DTC stored, the CEL will display them in sequence, then it will continue to repeat all the codes after they have been displayed one time. Record and double-check all codes displayed.

6. Look up the meaning of the codes retrieved on the DTC Index Page. (Note that the one or two digit CEL codes correspond to more detailed four digit OBDII codes.)

7. Clearing the codes: if you wish to clear the stored DTCs and reset the ECU, remove the #6 fuse (15A) in the underhood fusebox for at least 10 seconds. However, if you are going to take your vehicle to a professional mechanic for repair, it’s better to leave the DTCs in the ECU so that they can read and troubleshoot them with an OBDII scan tool or Honda PGM console.

on AU cars the DLC is on the LHS/passenger side i think?

[tinkerbell]

an cause i am a bit bored:

[MYDC5R]

Wow David, thank you
I wont try it on my own cause ill blow something.
