obd2 is picky on those little stuff, damn only 4 years , in cali too. is the car stock? |
Re: need help with my sisters 98 accord... (impoor)
how much mileage is on the car. that might be the reason why. i went to honda today because my ecu is throwing the same code. they said i have a bad cat. they said it could be due to the mileage on the car.

Re: need help with my sisters 98 accord... (impoor)
It might still be under federal warranty. Check with someone else (like searching on DMV or CARB's website). Is her car a V6 or 4banger?

Re: need help with my sisters 98 accord... (impoor)
Car parts that relate to emmisions control (the stuff that a "smog check" tests for) are usually covered under a separate federal warranty in excess of Honda's stated manufacturer's "bumper-to-bumper" warranty. The state and federal governement want to keep cars running with low emmisions + low impact on the environment during the car's useful life. Nobody needs smoggy air...
Your dealer should know about it. I *believe* convertors & things related are covered to 70k miles or thereabouts. Check on it...there might be a brochure that came w/ her car manuals when she bought it - check the glovebox. |

Check the warranty manual that came with the car or call Honda customer service for the emission warranty info.

I've got a '98 4-cyl. I bet the V-6 warranty is the same. This is all printed in the warranty booklet. 36k-mi/3-yr New Car Limited Warranty 36k-mi/3-yr federal vehicle emmision control warranty California requires a longer warranty for this?? (I'm not sure?) 80k-mi/8-yr for: catalytic converter warmup catalytic converter engine control module powertrain control module seatbelts & supplementary restraints covered for the "vehicle life" 5-yr rust perforation |
