I ws trying to replace my girlfriends brake lights. When I went to go install the new lights it didn't work. So I figure it could be a bad fuse. The car was on when i was checking the fuse and I went ahead and pull out the back up and instrument panel fuse and pluged it back in. after that the check engine came on.

How can I make it go away?
Its a 2000 Accord LX 4-door

Thank you in advance for your help guys.

Check a manual or maybe someone here can help me out. Not sure which fuse it is, but there is one you can pull to reset the ecu. After doing that, plug it back in and turn it on, see if it's still lit up and let us know.

 

will this reset the SRS light as well?

 

when u reinstalled it was the car still on?

 

Try to pull out the back up fuse and put it back after 5 or 10s. The car has to be off. Hope the check engine light will be gone.

 

Yes when i reinstalled it, the car was on.

 

why don't you just disconnect the battery for 5 mins

Replace Fuses and take them out with the car off.
