i was driving my car yesterday and i saw the light came on so plz can anyone tell me how to check the code and reset the light want diy detail with pic plz.
Thank

my car is acura 2.2 CL 1997 manual

 

Go to autozone, theyll check it for free, theyll give ya a code and a defination.

 

autozone website?or autozone place?i am in canada montreal there is no autozone here.

 

Hmm.... I dunno then man, I dont know much about auto part stores up there, go check some of them out they may do Free CEL's checks.

 

take a little wire. splice both ends. under the dash below the glove compartment you will find a green connector plugged. unplug the connector from the stay. place the spliced wire in. each end in each hole. turn key to 2nd position. you will get a series of short and long blinks. long blinks = 10s and short blinks = 1s. so if you get three long and two short you have 32. after you get the code google honda cel codes. by the way you are running OBD2.

 

do you have Kragen's/ Checker's/ Schuck's/ Murray's Auto Parts (same company, diff branches) in your area? They will do it for free.

If not, go to a small shop and ask them if they will get you the code for free.

If that's not possible, go to the noob guide, it has more detailed instructions on how to get the codes with a paper clip... not that supraman's instruction isn't correct

 

i simply dont trust people with my car. they can fuck up anything at an eye blink

 

Only 2 things I won't diy, brakes and suspension though I did swap my stock suspension on myself

 

What exactly do you mean by brakes? You do a lot of stuff, it's really suprising to hear you say you won't do brakes, they are very easy.

 

because the front on the 97's are hub over rotor.

 

Ok so I did as you had told me to..
The code that comes up is 63..which is Secondary Oxygen Sensor Low/High Voltage & Slow Response.

Could anyone tell me where its exactly located?If its possible with a picture or something and how to replace it?

I'd appreciate it alot.
Thanks in advance.

 

Assuming O2 sensor is at fault, it's #28 in the pic below.



It's a sensor that should be at the end of the catalytic converter. Kinda like the following:


You'll need a o2 sensor socket to replace it.


It's a simple unplug connector, unscrew sensor, apply anti-seize to new sensor threads, then screw in sensor, plug in connector. Reset CEL and complete 3 drive cycles.

 

please can u tell me how should i do reset cel?and sorry i didnt understand what do u mean by complete 3 drive cycles?

 

To reset the CEL, turn the ignition to OFF position. Remove the "Backup (radio)" fuse in the under-dash fuse box for 30 seconds and put it back in. *NOTE* This will erase all your Radio settings. So remember to save all your radio settings, radio anti-theft code, etc.

Drive cycles are certain driving criteria that need to be met. Such as cruising at a certain speed for x minutes. Completing 3 driving cycles with no errors verifies you have fixed the issue and your car will be emissions ready. I don't think Honda/Acura publicly lists actual driving cycles criteria. Normally I can fulfill these in a few days of driving to work and back.
