my check engine light came on how can i get rid of it with disconecting the battery, i think it came on beacuse its time for maintnance because it just hit 50k miles. thanks

 

Look for green button underneath your steering column area. Push that in
and it'll reset the CEL (Check Engine Light).

 

thanks

 

your check engine light doesnt come on for no reason its telling you that something is wrong with your car.....

you need to bridge the ecu and let the CEL flash to tell you what code it is throwing.

 

please clarify are you talking CEL or MAINT light?

 

its the maintnance light thats on sorry about the confusion, so how do i get rid of it without disconnecting the battery.

Look at your manual, there's instructions. But all you need to do is hold the reset button under the steering column, while you turn on the car.

If it was a CEL, you have to jump the service connector and read the flashes.

 

i will take a look when i get of work. thanks

 

Sounds like you know some Honda tech. My CEL just came on. I have a 99 Prelude. I bridged the wires and the CEL threw 61. What is 61. I used to have the list of Prelude CEL codes but I lost it when I moved. I know that a 61 is O2 sensor for the pre 1999 Preludes but did the number change with the 99's?
It was six long flashes and one fast flash. This is 61---right?

 

i finnaly got rid of my maintnance light by pushing the button under the steering column thanks for your help.
