can anyone tell me what the middle light stands for its a 1990 da5 zxi honda integra aswell cheers

 

looks like a heat light of some sort. almost like an exhaust regen or something. but i'm not to sure about that.

 

been told its teh cat sesnor but not too sure?

 

Look in the manual.

 

dont have one or i woulda done that

 

That is your seat belt light....I had an XSi, and when my passenger or driver seatbelts weren't buckled it would light up, so check that your connector is clipped on under both seats...and buckle both seat belts...If it continues then you might have an issue with the seatbelt wireing...Also might have the wrong year seats like 90-91 and 92-93 or non DA seats.

 

That's kind of funny! who told you this? That's the first...but it kind of does look like a cat....hahaha!

 

seatbelts... no ive been told its the Cat Sensor, the cat is overheating because most probably my ECU is over fueling the engine to a large degree and it has been very hungry on oetrol lately so would make sense

 

Your cat sensor...your kidding me right, there is no such thing! There is an O2 sensor. But believe me when I tell you it's your seatbelt...I had a DA9 with that cluster!

 

why wudnt there be a cat sensor in the car?ill have a look into the seatbelt thing anyways

 

Look man I am an auto tech, and I am telling you that your Acura doesn't have a cat sensor, if you wish to look funny...By all means go to your dealer and tell them that your cat sensor is bad, and see what happens, after they laugh at you. OBD2 cars have two O2 sensors, an OBD1 has 1....there are no cat sensors! shakes head...

 

its not an acura?its a honda its jap import so it could be different and ive had owners of honda da5/da6 integras tell me its the cat sensor so bear with me

 

Fine you win...It's a cat sensor....Iam trying to help you....but you are a bit on the hard headed side...Do you see my signature down there, I owned that DA for awhile...I brought it back from nothing, I made it an XSi clone....I am telling that it's not a cat sensor, the DA6 or 5 or whatever never came with a cat sensor. This will be my last time I ever help you...

 

Your XSi clone is NOT an XSi.

It is an EGT sensor. You, as an auto-tech should know what that is.

 

whats an egt sensor then

 

Exhaust Gas Temperature. It's basically a sensor that tells you when your cat gets TOO hot, which warns you against detonation.

99% chance you'll never see it light.

Don't listen to the "auto tech" who put an XSi cluster in his car and the wires crossed to the seatbelt on the USDM acura plugs.

 

so its a cat sensor?thanks for confirming this for me!seatbelts was wonderign what the hell ?

 

No crossed wires bro, but thanks for the correction...seems that the USDM cluster harness, has different pinning then the JDM...And there for the lume that I would was because on a USDM cluster that's were the seatbelt light would sit...

 

That's what I meant by crossed wires. I meant that the pinout for the XSi crosses incorrectly for the USDM Acura Integra.

 

cheers for clearing it up eran!as for jdm bones you call me hard headed.. clearly i shouldnt ask for your help again.. great way to treat new member give him wrong information then slate him for stating something else which turns out to be right.. topic can be closed now cheers

 

Exaust light its on every car almost, your sensor might be screwd or it could be the fuse thats shorting out

 

I like the idea of this cat sensor

 

Somebody revived an ancient thread. Oh, well...

That is a catalytic-converter-overheat warning lamp.

This was common on American cars from about 1975 to about 1980, and remained common for years on vehicles in foreign markets with non-feedback emissions systems (cat, but no oxygen sensor).

Instead of an oxygen sensor, there is a temperature probe that inserts directly into the catalytic converter.

 

a jdm da still uses an o2 sensor. actually 2 IIRC. one in each pair of runners. both upstream of the cat of course. or maybe that was ef civic/crx. either way, still a feedback system

 

I'm not talking about JDM. There were other RHD world markets in the '90s which had emissions systems that were not feedback, much like the early catalyzed US systems. Even the PGM-FI models were set up this way. That light is from one of those cars. Those non-feedback systems used the same internal fuel/spark map that our cars used for open-loop operation.
