2001 CR-V check Light
Hi,
I am at work and didn't have a chance to pull my manual so I don't know what type light this is that came on while driving to work. It is a yellow light with an oblong circle that has a fan to the left and I believe on top. Inside the circle it says check. Any ideas which light that is? Also what may be wrong and how to get it fixed? Thanks! |

Tell us the number. Some parts suppliers will do it for free. PartSource in Canada, apparently. 'Curly' |

Princess auto has a code reader here in winnipeg for $54.99. OBDII and shuts
the light off when finished. t 'Curly Q.

Re: 2001 CR-V check Light
Hi,
I went by the auto parts store (Auto Zone) and they read it for me for free. The diagnosis was something they didn't understand. It read: P1456 Manufacturer Contrl Auxiliary emission Controls Any idea what needs to be done? Thanks! |

Re: 2001 CR-V check Light
It means something is wrong with the engine,
usually in the pollution control system, but doesnt mean stop driving right this minute like a red oil pressure too low light. I my state you cant pass the emissions test and license stickers if this light is on. Nor can you transfer title, except to salvage. When my 2004 civic had the light at 30K, the dealer said drive it for three or four "cycles" in case it was a temporary problem like a loose gas cap. They said they'd charge an hour labor just to track it down. But since it was still under warranty they did the diagnosies and injector sensor replacement free. A 1990 civic had had an oxygen sensor failure at 200K and the replacing cost $300. (My threshhold for dumping the car was more than $1000 or work per year.) People advide trying to get a cheap code readout from a parts shop to save the diagnosis cost, especially if its something simple like a leaky gas cap. The parts shop may not know what all the codes mean. Someone told me a 2004 civic has 285 codes now. |

Used my own code scanner. Bought one after AutoZone read the code on my Windstar van but would not turn off the light. Cost a little less than $100 (USD) and has paid for itself in trips saved to the dealer. |
