Engine Check Light......
When I got home, my check engine light was on. I checked all the fluids and just went through the engine to see if everything was ok, and everything seemed fine. I also checked the gas cap to make sure it was on tight, and it was. I have around 15,000 miles on my car as well and just took it in around 2,000 miles ago to honda for a check up. Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this? I don't want to take my car all the way to the dealership, its a hassle. I would really appreciate your help. Thanks!

Better take that puppy in if you value it at all. Unless you have added exaust or something... then it could just be an O2 sensor problem.

Rep Power: 0 my maintenance light is on right now too. I just hit 10,000 miles. I tried RTFM where you hold the button the cluster down for 30 sec or whatever and that doesnt work. I am not sure if I am doing it wrong or what. I remember reading on some old threads of how to shut the light off but I searched and couldnt find them again. anyways it would be helpful to hear your opinions on how to fix that annoying light. oh yea I have a tcs exhaust but got that at awhile ago so I dont think thats why its doing that.

Rep Power: 0 My check engine light came on when I took apart my Injen SRI for cleaning. It was because of the sensor. I cleaned it off and it solved the problem
