Engine Light has been on for a few days...HELP PLZ
Hello guys,
My wife just told me her/our 05 accord engine light has been on for a few days. I asked if she has noticed a difference in power and she said not really, but maybe a little slower.
I test drove the car(I drive the civic or the S) and it seemed fine.
How do I find out what this light might REALLY mean.
Thanks guys

Check-Engine? Or Maintenance Required?
For Check-Engine, go to AutoZone or someplace like that, have them read the error code with their scanner.
Tell us the ACTUAL CODE NUMBER, not the guy's explanation.
1300 posts? You oughta know we need to know exactly what car. 4-cyl? V-6? 5-spd? Auto-trans? 6-spd? It all matters.

P0128 = cooling system malfunction
Probably a general code that will go away when you fix the others.
P0111 = intake air temperature sensor range/permormance problem
IAT sensor on a 4-cyl is in the big rubber air duct from filter to throttlebody. Sorta closer to TB.
P2183 = engine coolant temperature sensor 2 range/performance
ECT sensor 2 is in the lower tank of the radiator, towards left side of car. Look for loose plug, corrosion, ???
Is the radiator full? A bad cap can cause the radiator to be low while the overflow reservoir is OK.
Test drive & pay attention to the temperature gauge.
