Hi, I tried doing a search but found nothing here.
This morning, it was about 9 degrees and the Check Engine light came on. I tried doing three restarts after checking the security of the fuel cap like the book said to no avail. After more driving, it's still on. This is all I need right now Could some bad fuel with cold weather do this? I just fueled up yesterday.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rick

 

mine always goes on when I need an oil change. You had one lately??

 

Yep, about one week ago. Think I used bad oil? How does it know that you need an oil change?

 

I don't know but everytime I am approaching 3,000 miles on my oil the OH SHIT! SORRY JUST REALIZED i WAS TALKING ABOUT THE MAINTENCE REQUIRED LIGHT ON THE BOTTOM. nOT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. tHE ONE THAT CHANGES FROM GREEN TO YELLOW TO RED. SORRY! Is that light still green or is it red?

 

My check engine light hasn't ever gone on yet. Anyone else know about that?

 

Most of the time when the check engine light comes on for the first time, its the egr valve. BUt I'd get it check for the exact code.

 

Your check engine light will appear only if there is a problem with your emissions system. Like Joe says it most likely is the egr valve, which of course is covered under warranty.

 

mine came on along with my abs light yesterday but I changed the oil and topped up the brake fluid and the signals dissappeared.

 

I would bet it's the emssions thing.
My check engine light came on a few months back and I completely freaked out!
Called a Honda/Acura specialist and he told me to take it to the deal cause it was probably the emissions thing. Scared and with my fingers crossed I took it to the dealer.
It was the emssions thing. They fixed everthing. . . for free!
So just bit your teeth, cross your finger and take it to the dealer!
Better safe then sorry!
GOOD LUCK!

 

How to check codes for check engine light

 

Thanks for the responses, I will take er in this morning since she needs the ignition recall done anyway.
Niedejb, thanks for that great link, I will keep that for when there is no longer a warranty, as it looks very helpful.

what kinda oil are you using? usually you needa us thinner oil when it get that cold.

 

Here's what they found:
Code PO401. Clogged EGR Port
Action: Clear EGR Port and install update EGR pipe

Part # 06175-P8C-A00----Kit EGR Pipe
# 16177-P8A-A01----Gasket

Just in case anyone has this trouble outside their warranty.

While I was in there I got my ignition switch replacement and a car wash.

Total Invoice...........................$ 0.00

AMEN!
