If a check engine light is appearing when the car starts then the ECU is receiving an alert from somewhere in the engine. The computer should receive a diagnostic test which will provide an answer as to why the check engine light appeared on the 1997 Honda Civic.
If you have repaired the problem that caused the Check Engine light to come on, then you need an OBD2 scan tool to reset the light and clear the fault code from the ECU. If you have not repaired the problem then it will just come back on.
There are several things that can cause your 1990 Honda Civic engine light to come on when you go over 60 miles per hour. The most common cause is a malfunctioning PCV valve.
you have a problem with your engine and and its emissions. take it to auto zone for a free check.
a new oxygen sensor might be needed
The engine oil is overfilled.
Go to AutoZone and ask one of the fellas to come out and "check your check engine light code". They will be able to tell you what the problem code is, as well as re-set your check engine light.
This is not a question that someone should be asking as there are numerous trouble codes that will illuminate the check engine light. You dont "replace" the check engine light. You fix what's causing the light to come on, then reset the engine computer by pulling the main fuse under the hood. If you've properly taken care of the problem causing the light to come on then the light won't re-light. It's always best to reset the engine computer as a first step as sometimes the engine will do something to illuminate the light then resolve itself. Normally on an older Civic the cause is a worn out O2 sensor.
no that shouldn't make the check engine light to come on but that's not good on the fuel pump i would change the gas in the tank
engine emissions not good .. get obd2 scan most probley your cat converter
its not a light,reset with your key
The check engine light comes on when the computer has detected a problem with the emissions system. The engine maintenance light comes on when the engine needs some scheduled maintenance such as an oil/filter change.
