Okay...usually when i drive, i look at my dash often. But lately i noticed that the indicator on my RPM Gauge changed from green to yellow. I've never done any car work or repairs on my car. And this is a car with 262k Miles. F22A1 SOHC Non-Vtec. I want the experience of working on my car besides the lighting and stuff. So if anyone can tell me wut the indicator is telling me to do, please let me know. THANKS!! =]

I forgot to add that its a 1991 Honda Accord EX. Bone Stock.

it's just simply reminding you that it's almost time for a scheduled maintenance. your car wont just suddenly not start because the indicator changed from green to yellow. when it changes from yellow to red, just contact your local honda dealer and ask them what maintenance you should get (if you are to put your car in).

 

great!! Thanks...so the yellow isnt a major thing rite? not until it turns red?

 

its just a maintenance reminder...for like oil changes, tune-ups and fluid changes....on my accord, it went from green (you're good) to yellow (start to think about it) to red (do my maint bitch!).....do you know what maint has been done in the past?

well, when i got my car, eveyrthing was changed; eveyrhting from tires, to hoses, to belts. i also recently changed my oil about 1k miles ago. I probably put about 10k miles since i got the car without changing anything besides oil and belts when one of them snapped, which was about 1000 miles ago.

 

Well then you should be good to go. Your owners manual will tell you how to set the light back to green.

 

shove your key into that slot on the left side.. it'll clear it back to green.

yup just keep your car maintained and that light wont mean anything... its just there to remind you of things.

thats what i do!....i just turn it off as soon as it comes on.

 

same here... if it turns yellow, i just flip it back to green. give the car a quick visual, check belts, hoses, fluids, pads yadda yadda...
