Hey guys, i put this in here because i figured people will read it quicker here and I need help soon. My car's check engine light came on. I know about thing so i got gas and came here to work, which isn't far. should I disconnect the battery to reset the codes. Also i disconnected the battery a few days ago to put my spoiler on and i was reading in the manual that the codes may be throw off. where can i check to see what code is thrown and how do i fix it??? I am supposed to drive home to CT tomorrow so i don't want to have to take it to the dealer. I did that last time and it was just because of the gas cap. Please help!!!

[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG] Wish I could help. But if worse comes to worse, just take it to the dealer. Better than just leavin it like that. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Are you around 10,000 miles? It comes on then to remind you of the maximum time of the first oil change. If not, then tighten the damn gas cap and reset it. Then drive around a little longer and see if it comes on again. I wish we could read those error codes, but you'de need some kind of computer that hooks into the ECU. Only Honda has those.

Its not the maintenance light grey it is the check engine light. so if i disconnect the battery for like 5 min it should reset right?

Oh, there's two different ones? Hum... I don't think I knew that.

Hey, try this: "Push and hold in the trip odometer. Turn the key to "on" and wait till the maintenance light goes off." - SlvrEX5spd

Maybe that works for the check engine light as well?

Well i disconnected the battery and tightened the gas cap. The light went off when I started the car so we will see when I drive home!
