Hi folks, started using the deck this morning. On the way into work the engine management light came on :( cars still driving the same with know signs of ill running. What's the procedure for checking faults on these? I also have an abs light on and would like to pin point that fault too.

Cheers

If you scroll down there's pictures showing you both the ABS plug and ECU plug so you can read either.

Excellent! Thanks mate

So I just bridge the points and my abs or engine management light will flash? I count how many then refer to a list? My other cars have been obd2 so just plug and reader in and got the code,never done this method before.

Cheers

I believe so mate! I haven't done it myself but count whichever one flashes I would guess! From what I've read you should get some long flashes then short flashes or vice versa.

You can jump the 2 wires on your diagnostic plug. Then read the number of flashes you get from the light. A long flash reads as a count of 10. short is a count of 1. so 3 long and 2 short would be 32. Then you can look up what code it is. That will tell you what part needs replacing.

This is the list of error codes I have for the entire Honda range. Long flashes = tens, and short flashes = single units.

Quick google search suggests the cat. I have a spare so that's no problem. I can also hear a slight blow from the exhaust and this could also cause the cel code. Need to whip the stainless steel system off the mb and get it on the deck.

No worries mate, just happy to be of help! :)

 

Hopefully it's because it's blowing then! Hoarding spare parts comes in handy! Women just don't understand that :lol:
