What should I do if the fault light of the eighth generation Accord engine is on?

The failure light of the eighth generation Accord engine of Pacific Auto Network is on, so it should be tested and repaired as soon as possible. If it happens to be near the pit and there is no obvious engine failure, you'd better check it at once. If the engine has obvious faults, such as serious abnormal sound, severe jitter, engine smoke, etc. You mustn't drive on the road. It's best to contact the repair shop and wait for help.

There are three possible reasons why the engine fault light is on: the first one is a false fault, and the fault code is reported, but it works normally. It may be that an operation is beyond the control of the computer, so we can eliminate the fault code fed back by the computer first, and then we will see if the fault code is still skipped. The second type, minor fault, the engine has no obvious fault. According to the computer detection information and further inspection, it is found that there is a certain fault, which does not affect the normal driving or has little impact, and needs to be found and solved in time. For example, the intake pressure sensor is faulty. The third category, major fault, can be felt by naked eyes and driving experience, which seriously affects the normal work of the engine and needs immediate maintenance. For example, the engine is obviously underpowered, which is probably a problem with the oxygen sensor.

After the fault light is on, first check whether the engine is running normally, and whether there are problems such as jitter, black smoke or difficulty in starting. If there is, try not to start it again. There is a high probability that the engine is out of order. If the engine is running normally and can run normally, please go to the service station as soon as possible to find out the reason. The reason why the fault light is on is easy to confirm. As long as the service station is connected with the portable diagnostic instrument, it can easily read the fault code and obtain the targeted maintenance of the fault information. If the engine is running normally, the owner can also try to lightly plug each harness connector, which may be caused by a virtual connection of a connector somewhere, or repeatedly turn the key to the on position to see if it can be ruled out.
