You need a scan tool to clear the code. On the TSX if you get the check engine light the ECU goes into limp mode too so there is a drop in power. Not sure if that is the same on ours.Quote:

Yep the Euro has a limp mode when CEL is activated dependant on the problem. It happend to me when my flex pipe cracked on my DC style headers and I couldn't get above 3000 rpm.Quote:

Can I clear the CEL with the OBD2 reader?
Yes. You can read the code and then clear it. Good readers can read the 5 digit specific code in addition to the general 2 digit code.
jaycar electronics - OBDII scan tool $129...
i havent tried it on my euro, but ill try do it sometime this week
$129, ouch. Can it read the manufacturer-specific 5 digit code as well?
So something like this will do?

Yup, that will work.
Woah, this is a cheap one. Do we need 5 digit codes or will 4 do?

Usually the ones with the 4 digit display will cycle the 5 digit code across the screen. But this cheap one doesn't mention that it can read the manufacturer specific 5 digit code...
Anyway, here are the codes: http://aaronng.ozhonda.com/temp/ECU%20CODES.doc
Ok guys, need some advice.
So I went and got a OBD2 scantool and have erased the CEL. But of course every few days it comes back up again and I've got to erase it.
I need a permanent solution for this. I'm not sure if it's a TODA fault (read previous few pages) or an installation issue. So who should I go to cos I REALLY want this fixed.
