check engine light and TCS light
Hey guys I went to autozone and got my car scanned and its my EGR. I plan on cleaning it tomorrow and it didnt throw any other code, but for some reason my tcs light is on also. Is this related or is it something else and its just not throwing a code?

the TCS light comes on alot of times when the CEL light comes on. There isnt any thing else wrong. Just the way honda designed it

Damn my CEL just came back on with the same code. I cleaned the upper manifold real good too. I cleaned the lower mani as good as i could see. Do i Have to remove the lower manifold also to get to the other side or do you guys just clean where its visiable? Please help me i hate looking at the CEL

the lower does not get removed. just the upper. the lower only has the passage that goes from the egr to the upper im. That if clogged would need to be cleaned (by removing the egr itself)

take the upper im off and make sure every thing (all the holes), 7 of them and the egr passages on the top plate are clog free, then unbolt it. and clean the passage to the egr out.
