I have a 2008 Honda accord coupe V6 I am unable to find the flasher relay because my blinkers are not working Can I get some insight on where it is located?
no country told, but ours, (USA) has this car starts and drives ok, and all electrics work , headlamps and parking lamps? blinkers dead on all 4 corners of car , not told, for all.? hazards fail too ,all 4 corners/???? all fuses good? scan the OBD2 port under dash for errors? the cluster 2lamps Left and right dead?, and the sounder beep dead too (turns)? the turns module is part of under dash,fuse box. nobody installed wrong lamps outside corners of car , right? does rear of car have trailer hitch hacks? (shorted) fuse9 and 15 under hood not blown? fuse 5 under dash driver box fuses good??(kick panel) check for damage on all 4 corner lamp socket/wirescheck for damage not repair from previous collisions.to wiring and lamps. and inspection is first'wiring and fuses. as seen here
My Honda FRV vsa light & engine light comes on sometimes each comes on separately or both & sometimes the d light flashes
FR-v car, no year told. 2004 to 2009 sold
CEL = check engine light (OR SES) means needs service, in shop.
per your lost users guide
VSA is veh.stability assistant (no this is not it) <<< it is a distraction or battery is weak
are you asking for wild guessing or how to test using tools.
1 or the other????
will not crank at all, (starter dead)?
or cranks fast but will not start.?
???? which is it, 2 huge differences in diagnose x10
you stated symptoms and no real question asked./?????
we can not see or hear the starter on your car fail or not.
and matters huge.
if the starter was dead. the battery lugs are rusty and loose
we clean them and tightening them.
any battery that old is no good. or 2004+6= 2010 died, and replaced
then failed again in 2016, and replaced, and 2022 is bad again.
see my math? 6year life on battery 10 is max my 50 year seen experience.
working, Im retired for 13 years now. older than dirt.
no year car told
no year battery was last changed out and sure was!
if the battery is weak it will not crank or does and all computers on board go mad.
they lie to you. lacking proper battery voltage.
if the starter dies
clean lugs first
if no cure, jumper cable jumps start it ( or call AA autoclub tow ask for JUMP)
and dash charge lamp must go out runnning
96 honda civic dx location of PCV valve
Hi Jason , no vin told
no engine told of vast world wide.
no country told. PCV goes to top of valve cover on most engines
to suck the fumes off of there and burn them. a SMOG device.
our USA 96 has
a rubber grommet there and a PCV stuffed in there.
tell what engine is there.
and country if smart.
it loves to clog and make engine leak oil and engine burns oil;
replace it is best every 50k miles,
it is only a check valve.inside, simple as can be but clogs.
In the USA all cars here changed radially for 1996 year
manufactured after july1, 1995 for 96 marketed year.
OBD2 day we call that, even engine options before NOW GONE.
My 2006 honda Odyssey will stall out or just shut completely down or off while in full motion driving.
All engines move back and forth. Sometimes too much:)
Check your motor and trans mounts to see if they are allowing the engine to move too much. You need 2 people to do this: One person on the side of the vehicle with the hood open and another in the vehicle, E Brake applied!!!, carefully shifting from Drive to Reverse. Watch the motor & mounts for movement. If you see much movement, you probably have a weak wiring connection that disconnects when the engine is in a certain position. A short or grounded wire could also be the problem so make sure no wires are bare in certain spots from rubbing as the engine moves.
Check the wiring harness by moving the wires by hand while idling your car. In PARK with the E-brake applied!!! Move the wiring and hoses around, shake them and see if you can replicate the problem in your driveway.
Good luck.
1997 Honda Odyssey. To replace the speedometer sensor is it the counter or main shaft sensor please?
on old cars, not told, fully you, if a/t or m/t box, auto or stick?
but on cars the sensor is named VSS, and is on tail of transmission output shaft ,.
on newer cars with ABS , abs 4 sensors are used at 4 wheels.
no engine told or transmission there.
no vin told.
vss is speed of axles turned by the transmission and is never ever and input shaft. sensor.
we can not see under your hood or behind the flywheel, at all
in the blind.
the SM shows it has 3 pins VSS so is not ABS
has power to it so is HALL sensors (very reliable)
if you scan the PCM (USA onlY) It will tell you it is bad if is.
PCM uses it, and cluster and cruise box. all 3.
sm qoutes
4 cylinder engine automatic.
Disconnect the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) wiring harness. The VSS is located on the rear of the transaxle case near the cooler line inlet.
no engine told not told is an automatic,
me not tossing coin 4 times sorry
What would cause a 2004 Honda Accord dx. 4 cylinder to keep throwing the PO141 & PO341 even after those parts have been replaced Po141 & PO 341
You have to either clear the codes with your scanner or drive for multiple "drive cycles". Those codes are stored in the ECU now so even if the sensors are working okay the ECU understands that some glitches are temporary but still needs to be "told" it's been really fixed.
The exception to this is doing drive cycles but I only think these apply to emissions related codes and yes, those fall under emissions (the engine isn't operating at the optimal condition for emissions). An example of this is a loose gas cap. After you tighten it properly, the owners manual or a dealer will just tell you "keep driving it, it will go away", i.e. drive cycles. Yeah, or you could go to Autozone and have them clear it or you.
Honda Airwave user manual please?
2010- to 2010. in what country,, ??????
what engine? L15 SOMETHING.
no vin told so all that is unknown.
my wild wild guess is CVT box is sick, TRANSMISSION
needs service, get some,
are you in JAPAN WRITING IN ENGLISH,?????
WIKI SAYS JDM , JAPAN DOMESTIC MARKET CAR.

2000 Honda Odyssey.
The passenger side
The driver's Multiplex Control System is a small computer that controls (among many other things) the dash lights brightness, ignition key interlock, shift interlock, and has a tie in to the brake light system and horn relay. It may be that this small computer malfunctioned and started the whole problem chain.
However, I note from the factory shop manual that if polarity is reversed on the shift interlock--it can be damaged. Reverse polarity will ruin the diode inside the shift interlock. This could have happened when you jumped the battery--a brief period of getting the cables and terminals mixed up could have done it.
Checking the shift lock solenoid can be done by removing the steering column upper cover. Disconnect the shift lock solenoid connector (2 terminals). Using long jumper wires, apply battery voltage to terminal 1 (yellow wire side) of the solenoid and ground terminal 2 (green wire side). Check that the shift lever can now be moved out of Park. NOTE: applying voltage in the opposite direction of that above will damage the diode in the solenoid and will probably ruin it. Remove your jumpers and shift back to park and check that the solenoid locks. If the solenoid does not work properly, it will need to be replaced. This involves removing the end of the transmission shift cable and is a complex job. Remember, no power to the solenoid equals a locked solenoid--it takes power to unlock it.
The Multiplex Control Unit has a self diagnostic feature which checks the computer itself and inputs to the computer. The computer check is called mode 1 and the input test is mode 2. The diagnostic trouble codes are outputted to the ignition key light and beeper.
To test, first confirm that all fuses are good, especially fuse 9 (10A) in the driver's under dash fuse box (left kick panel) and fuse 13 (7.5A) in the passenger's under dash fuse box (right kick panel). Then use a jumper wire (a wire with small alligator clips on each end works best) to jump the two leads of the multiplex test connector. (This is a light green 2 terminal connector dangling from the same wire bundle as the brake pedal switch connector.) Buckle the driver's seat belt (avoids nuisance beeps). Now turn the ignition switch to on. After about 5 seconds, the ignition key light should come on and the beeper should beep for 2 seconds then stop for .2 sec. then beep once for .2 seconds. This indicates that the system is in diagnostic mode 1.
If no diagnostic trouble codes (DTC's) are present, the key light and beeper will not blink/beep again. If there are codes: about one second after entering mode 1, the key light and beeper will indicate the DTC and repeat it every 3 seconds. If there are more than one, the system will indicate them in ascending order. The codes will be a light flash and beep so you will have to count the flashes/beeps to keep track. The codes range from 1 to 6. Code 3 (three flashes/beeps) indicates a problem with the multiplex control unit itself. Write back here for other codes or for questions about mode 2.
Honda Cr-v 2003....engine light came on, misfire under load, went into limp mode. It is showing codes1298 and 1279. Are these connected, i.e does the ELD cause a misfire which results in 1279 code
if you drive any car this new.
and with head lamps on
and see the lamps dim
and the alternator is failing EDL and all.
even fan belt loose. battery lugs loose.
the 14vdc (typ) batter voltage falls fast to 12vdc then near 10vdc.
lamps now dim the EFI starts to fail. (its computer, and will not run below 10vdc. or even misfires) or under injects, and well a list of random things. all wrong.
test the battery first many a bad battery can cause horrible crazy things as you bounce down a road. and the battery cane make the alternator or eld go nuts.
13vdc to 15vdc is normal at the battery lugs engine running'
own a voltmeter to learn this?
misfires has many causes, above is but 1 of 50
above is battery charger failures.
the 2003 car we an scan the PCM to see errors too
cars this old tend have 2 or more hard errors.
but all ELD tests are in the book, to read;.
ELD is like smart device the helps keep battery from going dead.
ELD prevents overharge and under, better than most cars made.
the ELD is a ammeter,(converter)
the PCM asks over and over (looped) what does the battery see (here)
current. so that allows the PCM to control the Alternator in a better way,to not stress the battery and get a longer life.
the problem we see is kids with 2000watt bridging ear killing watts
added, and the ELD does not see that current (HACKED IN by owners)) so the battery is not properly charged and goes bad fast.
so don't by honda's(sorry) or rip out the stock alternator and stand alone version installed.. (or ask honda how to do it right?)
those are the problems , if still stock ignore my AMP'd up hacks.
2001 Honda Accord dies randomly but will start again after time has passed. Is this because of a faulty cam sensor??
Hi Ciara Kilgore, are you asking
for us to guess.
or how to do tests that find the 50 causes of dead or stalled engines.
wow a Tee boned car, first one posted like here ever.
amazing post. what are you asking the blind.
D4 lamp (is a huge clue)
what country is this car located or sold to first.
D4 light is like a check engine light for the transmission
it means it is failing.
your forgot to say the D4 lamp is in
the
not told what no start means
1: will not crank , the starter motor is dead.
2: cranks fast the starter motor but the engine fails to start , run and stay running.
D4 shows flash codes on old honda's
when D4 happens, shift the transmission
too all gears and back to park see if engine starts now
2001, we scan the PCM using oBD2 scan tool
all shops know how to do that. ask them to.
on another NOTE
call the guy insurance co. that hit your car
the fix it like new (or total it)
end story. do that now.
D4 is honda magic for
DRIVE, the drive lamp flashes when
the tranny fails. and did and crashes to wreck wires. to lots of things. and more.
After replacing motor mounts on 2002 honda accord se 4 cyl it starts but revs up and down when given throttle
erratic up and down idle is usually either a faulty idle air control valve, located on throttle body, or vacuum leak.
Check vacuum hoses by spraying each one with carb cleaner while engine is idling. If idle smooths out when one is sprayed, then replace that vacuum hose.
If all are ok, then the IAC valve is bad. This is replaceable by itself. But before replacing it, try pulling it and cleaning the ports out of any carbon deposits
It runs about $144.
