Q
how to reset honda accord check engine light
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
1. Ensure the Car is Off: Make sure your car engine is off, for your safety and to allow the car's systems to reset correctly.
2. Locate the Fuse Box: The fuse box in a Honda Accord is typically located under the dashboard on the driver's side. If you have the car manual, that's the best place to check for its exact location.
3. Find the ECU Fuse: In the fuse box's diagram, look for the fuse for the Electronic Control Unit (ECU), Engine Control Module (ECM) or Powertrain Control Module (PCM). These are all names for the computer in your car that controls your engine.
4. Pull the Fuse: Use a fuse puller or a pair of pliers to carefully remove the fuse.
5. Wait: Leave the fuse out and wait for about 10 to 15 minutes. This will give your car's computer time to reset.
6. Replace the Fuse: After waiting, carefully put the fuse back in.
7. Start the Car: Start your car. You should notice that the 'check engine' light is off now.
If you don't see a light turn back on, you've successfully reset the check engine light. If it turns back on after a moment or after driving for a bit, there may be a problem with your engine that needs to be addressed.
Note: Make sure to replace the fuse with one of exactly the same amperage
Also, it is advisable to solve the problem that caused the Check Engine light to come on, instead of just resetting it. If unsure, please consult a mechanic or an expert.
Keep in mind that in some places it can be illegal to reset your car's check engine light to pass an inspection without fixing the problem that caused it to turn on.
