How to turn off warning sign (engine picture) on a Honda Civic 2002?

Question

Hi, i currently own a Honda Civic year 2002. One of the warning light in my car all of a sudden is turned on. It's the one that cautions you and tells you to check the car system. It's like a picture of an engine. Well i checked my car and nothing seems wrong. So my question is how do i turn the light off?

Answer 1

Theress usually a reason for a check engine light to come on....it tells you to bring it to a mechanic to get the engine checked lol. But you need a special $10,000 ODBII scanner that plugs into the cars computer which reads the codes and turns the light off. Most auto repair places has them (Honda dealer, Firestone, etc.) (Autozone will scan your car for free and tell you whats up but wont fix it ;) lol

Answer 2

Most mechanic shops have a machine that they can hook up to your car that will tell you why the light went on and will reset the light. But unless you take care of the problem, the light will come back on.  

Answer 3

Disconnect your battery, turn on the headlight switch for about five to ten minutes, and re-connect the battery.

Answer 4

u cant, unless u wanna break stuff.

Answer 5

Take it to a dealer or auto shop to have it checked. Mine did that (different car though) and they had to change my oxygen senor and re-set the warning light. Better to be safe than sorry, could be something really wrong with it and I'd hate to see you stall out somewhere.

Answer 6

Go to your local auto parts store and buy/borrow an Onboard Diagnostic (OBD 2) scanner.  Plug the cable to the port underneath your dashboard and start your engine.  Write down the error code, look up the description for the code and repost your question with the error code.

When this warning sign comes on (Check Engine Light), it's telling you that your car has detected a problem or malfunction with your car or it's sensors that help your car run efficiently.  If you ignore this light by simply turning it off can make matters worst as your car will eventually run sluggish, rough, or no longer start at all.  

Also, if you attempt to disconnect your battery or use the OBD 2 scanner to clear the check engine light, it will return when you computer detects the problem unresolved.

Good luck!

Take it into the shop.  Only they can turn the light off, and also tell you what went wrong in your car to make it come on.
