94 accord, engine light came on , i did the error code check and the light came on and stays on. Is this considered a code 1 or is it supposed to flash one time and go off. code one for my car is faulty O2 sensor

Not a code one, reset the ECU and if the problem recurs it's probably a fault in the ECU or blown fuse for the ECU

 

If you have a solid CEL whether the service connector is jumped or not jumped, that is a faulty ECU code.

 

I for got to mention thati did try to reset the code on more than one occasion and the CEL still just stays on. And for the record i never noticed any real change in the fuel consumption...

 

This is what happened to my 94. I got a CEL steady on to let me know something was wrong. I jumped the connector under the glove box and got one quick blink them a solid CEL. Reset the ECU and try again. You have to keep your eye on the CEL to make sure you catch if it blinks once. Mine was a faulty O2 sensor.

 

Hey Hondaman56,

I just went and checked the error code again by jumping the connector making sure this time to watch closely to see what the engine light does.

For sure i can say it does not give me any sort of quick flash, as soon as i have it jumped and turn the key to the on position it simply justs stays illuminated -no flash(es) whatsoever).

I also checked my ECU fuse(it was fine) and also reset it by removing the back-up fuse for 10 seconds. Same results...Once i start up the car my CEL stays illuminated all the way until i turn the car off.It's been this way for months with no real noticable reduction in performance

 

OP, did you ever learned how retrieve the code?? my accord is doing the same except mine doesn't start.

 

Jesus christ, a 4 year old thread bump for this?

There's a bunch of threads on how to retrieve the CEL. Blue service connector behind/below the glove box, stick a paper clip in it and count flashes.

 

yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.




its almost worth finding the first thread ever and start bumping threads from there!




its not in the FAQ section or anything like that.


F.

 

guess what *******. mine isn't blue behind the glove box, and it won't blink. you shouldn't even post, its worthless.

 

Seriously did you read the Thread ? .. Using the Blue Connector to Check Codes Jumped the Blue Connector ..- Code Light STAYS ON .. does not blink but stays on.... that means person placed jumper between the pins on the blue test connector ...
