Default What is this orangish/yelloish light?

Is this the check engine light? oil reminder change light? What is it? I really hope it isn't the check engine light.

My girlfriend said.... "Any woman knows what that means." aahhahaha but hey... I dunno. lmao. Sorry if I sound rude. anyways... go to Autozone or something and get an OBD computer and get it checked. Then figure out what the code means and come back. Let us know what the outcome is, so you don't go spending a fortune at some chintzy shop. good luck, dude.
PS. if you're in the southern cali area, i know a guy that will hook you up with a good deal if its a serious problem.

If you go to Autozone, they'll read it for free--no need to buy anything. Or, you can do this (post 4): https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-2001-2005-78/get-engine-code-without-scanner-2900091/

Its just letting you know your engine is at running temperature hence the orange outline.

LOL, what? No it's not. That is the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) also known as the check engine light. It comes on when there is a problem with the drive train.

Whether it is disinformation or misinformation, trolling or not, it's incorrect.

:facepalm:
why am i not surprised. It really means you've got something running wrong somewhere and need to get it checked out.

or in early 2000 volvos your gas cap wasn't screwed on right and no matter what you do, until your next fillup its gonna stay on
