2004 civic check engine light

any ways to pull up a code on these? i know my dakota i could pll up the code on the odometer, any way to do it with the civics? or do i gotta hook it up to a scanner at a shop?

 

Auto Zone etc.. will scan it for free.

 

I'd call someone and get the to diagnose over the phone for you.

 

I hear Huey is good at that.

 

we dont have autozone's etc up here in the great white north

 

They can probably do it at a Tim Horton's can't they?

 

It's a Honda civic. Leave it on the road side.

 

Open the hood. Make sure the engine is still there.

Close hood. Cycle ignition 17 times with the radio tuned to 1280 AM and the AC set to "recirculate". Turn key off, turn on headlights, and then start car.

If the light doesn't go out, smash it with a hammer.

:up:

 

What is smashing the radio with a hammer gonna fix?

 

Hearing that annoying AM hum & static.

Duh.

 

Wouldn't hitting the dash light with the hammer be more effective?

 

Dash lights don't make that annoying AM hum and static.

What did you have for dinner, lead paint chips and freon?

 

I suspect if the dash light does start humming and making static you've got some bigger issues.

Maybe hit yourself with the hammer.

 

Tried that.

Humming got louder.

Static stayed the same, though. Perhaps more experimentation is needed.

 

Swing harder.

 

your 'fart muffler' exhaust is causing it!

 

Funny you should say that while I'm watching the Twinkies blow their first playoff game.

Swing batter batter batter batter SWING and a miss!

 

F THE YANKEES!!!

 

What's good for cleaning diet coke off a keyboard ??
