Dash light - after install new sound system??

[steve-gee]

Hi Guys

Just this week I have had a Pioneer system installed in my 4G. Ever since then - the orange engine warning light comes on after about 1 Km of driving?? The guy had disconnected the battery - and I know there's a follow-up procedure to do after that; which involves running the engine in idle for five minutes. Did that - but the damn light still comes on??

Anyone know what the light signals - and how it can be reset? I have some Honda manuals - just haven't had time to check them over yet?

What is the code?

I assume the 4th gen preludes are OBD-II complaint?
Get a ELM327-bluetooth if you got an android phone or a ELM-327 wifi if you have a apple phone
Get torque if you have an android phone and pull the codes.

If not, follow one of the guides on pulling the codes by using the wire jump method and count the flashes on the MIL light.

Thanks Grayfox - I only have a Sony Experia w/o Bluetooth; wife has a Samsung I guess that might help - but can you explain the Bluetooth process a bit thanks? If not I guess I'm stuck with the wire jump method - must say it sounds a bit confusing??

Cheers

Older Honda that had OBD-I had two wires under the dash in the footwear that would flash the MIL light to tell you the code

I would suggest taking it back to the installer

Yeah - it IS my intention; since they haven't quite finished (one extra pair of Alpine Type R's to go) - I'm just not that confident he'll know what he did wrong?

Thanks again Grayfox - that made a lot of sense! How does the Bluetooth version go - Julie has it activated on her phone for an earpiece she uses?

Cheers

ignore that bluetooth stuff, those scanners are for cars with the OBDII ports - i can guarantee your 4g lude doesn't have one.

You'll have to use the pin jump method. There's a DIY on this forum for it

This is correct. That Bluetooth thing his talkn of is ODB2+.

Use pin method. Could be simple thing like a sensor has been unpluged.

Imma bet on secondary O2 sensor, as you have an engine light and still drive around town fine?

Heres a link. It has a video to explain what to look out for.

Your ODBI blue connectot is right behind the cigarete lighter and storage compartment console
You can access it from the drivers side from behind

Thanks Jasemas - haven't got round to it yet - but the car goes back to the audio guys today - I'll see if they have any ideas??
