I forgot how to check & reset the check engine light on a 97 Integra LS. I use to have a web site book marked but lost it some place. Please list all detail's on how to reset or chceck cause or web sites. I have pulled the ECU fuse which did not reset it. The car did have a muffler leak which I thought was the cause for the light since the car runs perfect.

Thank you for the web site. (very nice). I did it and counted the flashes (8 long and seem to give one short and count eight long and two short till it went up to I think 6) Does anyone have a list of what that is? (list of codes) That web page is a great page but it does not list what the codes are or how to reset the light. My check engine light still did not rest after I checked it.

 

umm...8 long and 1 short...is code 81...which there is no such thing....and "eight long and two short till it went up to 6"....i'm not sure what you are trying to say....eight long and two short is code 82 which there is no such thing again....unless you meant code 86 which is your ECT sensor...engine coolent temp sensor....

Long flashs=10

Short flashing=1

Thank you again Hmmm I'm confused I read flashes that seem to repeat and 8 and increase one.
1) 8 long flashes 1 short
2) 8 long flashes 2 short
3) 8 long flashes 3 short
4) 8 long flashes 4 short
5) 8 long flashes 5 short
6) 8 long flashes 6 short

I thought it was trying to tell me it had 8 as a code 6 times in memory. I will check it again Monday. I must have read it wrong some how.

 

goto this other link and it will explain how to read the codes so you can make sure you're reading it right

I checked again and counted with all my fingers and toes this time to be sure I counted correct. This is what I get.
1) 7 long 1 short
2) 7 long 2 short
3) 7 long 3 short
4) 7 long 4 short
5) 7 long 1 short
6) 7 long 2 short
7) 7 long 3 short
8) 7 long 4 short
and keeps repeating. Car seems to run perfect. The codes are listed on this page

to be related to a Cylinder Misfire or a Random Misfire a condition is present that is creating a cylinder misfire. Car has new plugs,wires and ignition (all installed last fall by a Acura dealer.
Anyone have any idea's why?

 

hmm...try resetting the ECU by disconnecting the battery for about a minute.....and see if that takes care of it.

If that doesn't work...then if I were you i'd bring it in to the dealer and show them.

 

I should mention or it may be related. Last week I had to replace my defective RS*R cat back system (not a stock muffler). The light came on though over a month ago and took it for granit it was because the muffler was leaking. I will try resetting the ECU by disconnecting the battery for about a minute. Hope it works. I know my dealer will find some thing... to charge me $$$ for if it doesn't.
Thank you again to the advice,
