ck fuses and switches, ck for possible bad ground

This is pretty common on Hondas. It happens when a stereo or something else is installed that is not from the factory. Or it could just be that they are a common problem. Even a fuse problem So check the fuses first. If you take it to a mechanic or any other place of repair, they may replace the small computer to the driver's side of the vehicle under the dash. Which is what IS the problem. But , you don't have to do that if you are handy with some tools and a little common sense. You can bypass the wires that turn on the light inside the dashboard. You have to take off the instrument cluster /dashboard panel. They are usually installed with a few screws and /clips. Just make sure you don't have your lights or car on . Everything has to be off. you don't want to burn out anything. After removing the instrument cluster , on the other side of the dials and meters you see when you flip the dash cluster over, you will see some wires that run down the middle and connect to some green plugs on both sides. You want to check to see if your lights come on by using a paperclip or small , stiff wire. You insert that wire in the plug where you see a solid RED wire (the plug is to your left side sitting in the car). Be careful not to damage anything . Just insert it right beside the red wire (at the end on the plug also to your left, usually.) The other end of the paperclip you insert in a WHITE and RED wire which you have to look for. After you insert both sides of the paperclip to their proper wires, you straighten up the panel and turn your light switch on . The lights should go on. If they do . You just fixed your problem......If they don't, check that nothing came loose. If they do come on , you turn off your lights and you strip a piece of both wires that you bypassed and connect them together with another piece of wire. Turn on the light switch again just to make sure the light turn on. Then use a piece of tape to cover the exposed wires that you connected together. The only thing that will happen is that your dimmer used to dim the instrument panel will not work. But other than that they should work. rate my answer if it works and helped you. I

decent car the rover i like them anyway,now if vehicle is going into gear ok and the pedal bite is the right height then check the gearbox oil level EP90 oil is used for this never mind this thin stuff used on modern cars its not a lot of good regardless what the designers say ,a nice bit of thick hypoid oil is the best as its a diff and gearbox unit all in in one on front wheel drive car and no lubrication around the syncros and baulk rings will cause this problem ,if after topping up the gearbox and it goes noisy then pump some LM grease into the box about a grease gun full as this will end up in the bottom of the box and help stop any leaks along the bottom gasket or the drive shafts and help quieten the box ,yes i know its a arthur dailey type trick but it works ,well what do expect from a old truck fleet fitter like myself no dealer unit changer here

the key or fob? the key is bad, use the spare key that came with all new cars. always keep a spare. or get stranded.

leaking injectors get them cleaned, or the PCM signals to injectors might be wrong. or crazy high fuel pressure can case them to leak. fuel in oil is bad, can cause engine bearing spin, (seizure) id get in fresh oil, first then diagnose the cause. was CEL lamp glowing driving? yes, bingo. SCAN IT ! if not, id check fuel pressure (at spec?>) the id check that each injector clicks, with stethoscope or special tool i have, just for that. and id do an injector leak down test at same time same tool as pressure guage test. the injector balance test. i have videos of all. ask. Scan it means, connect OBD2 scan tool to car, and scan for errors. your car has advanced brains, use a newer scan tool for best results. new tools , see newer factory only, extended errors. that are really help full in diagnosis. cheers.!

Use key in drivers door or remove alarm brain in drivers kick

the tests are in the FSM. get that and read........ (IIRC end of book) buy the FSM from , Honda. or login to alldata.com BINGO !

lost the other fob>>> ????? never own a car with 1 fob. and if one fob messes up, the battery inside is dead. (or worse) if just lock fails the button is bad, if one fob false, and they do its just cheezy switch. (can be cleaned) use the other FOB, if it fails, post.

must change it

100% normal most cars raise idle RPM by 200 RPM 100% normal if it was 200. only at idle. not moving ,ever. my guess the accelerates means moving. some will use that word for RPM only. why would any car do that. answers: 1: ECU?PCM thinks the car is idling bad TPS sensor or not calibrated. 2: on fly by wire (throttle by wire) the CEL Glows, running, is it> and if yes, why on scan the errors TBW , has lots of issues, did you read all TSBs on the car, most cars TBW cars, the TSBs bleed red with issues. TBW means Throttle by Wire, TSB are trouble bulletins. when a TBW car has problems, it can go to limphome. limphome causes out of control idle. and lost engine power many cars , kill the A.C in limphome. so as not to overheat the engine or give you more power ,now that 1/2 was lost in limphome. (passing safety is an issue here)\ so back up does car dash CEL lamp glow , running engine.and for sure driving if yes, do not drive car, scan the PCM and find what is wrong. all cars, 1988 to now. (USA cars have OBD tech)

The vsa and check engine light cam on because their is a fault in the system that needs to be looked at.To be on the safe side i would check the oil and transmission fluid .
Try doing a reset. Disconnect battery for a minute, this will clear the code ( light ). If the light comes back then take it auto zone or dealer to have the code read.
You can have the codes read for free at your local parts store like auto zone.
Have them scan it and let me know what the codes are.
