Title: HELP ME FIND SOMETHING IN MY CAR!! PLEASE
Post by: bigwake on July 04, 2007, 10:13:48 AM
my brother's 01 acura cl decided to send up a warning sign as he was driving down the turnpike.."maintenance required"(idiot light)..and we don't let things fall to crap..so we think it could be tire pressure or something not too bad..maybe since it turned 130k miles....problem is, we don't know where to plug the diagnostic check into the car...i need to know where specifically to plug in the diagnostic machine..any help is appreciated..thanks-josh

domestic cars are under the steering colum but imports can be almost anywhere   usually around the center console area or on the passenger side of the car or even under the hood

That light is not a DTC code it is a "your vehicle mileage indiactes it needs service light" Look in your owners manual and it will tell you how to reset it. Most Hondas you hold the reset button for the odometer and cycle the ignition 3 times.
