TODA headers to CL9

[yfin]

Surprise surprise, my CEL came on again today.

Anyone knows how to reset it without having to send it to the dealer? Could it be bad install that caused it?

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.

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.

With the good exchange rate against the US dollar, it's time to pick up an OBD2 code reader off ebay.

Can I clear the CEL with the OBD2 reader?

[aaronng]

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

[aaronng]

$129, ouch. Can it read the manufacturer-specific 5 digit code as well?

[E-Gene]

So something like this will do?

[aaronng]

Yup, that will work.

[E-Gene]

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

[aaronng]

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.
