my 'check engine light' and 'ATTS' light are on in my 5th gen prelude...

what should i do? my friend redlined it when he dropped into a lower gear, but it was only for a breif second. the light came on like 3 minutes after it happened. i just wanted to hit 'em :madfawk:

but... everything sounds fine and the car runs just like it did before.


should i not drive it until i get it checked out or what?

any help would be VERY appreciated.

 

Don't freak out. Just see what code you're throwing and you can find your problem there. Try reseting your computer by taking off your negative battery wire for awhile, then put back on and start your car. If the light doesn't come back on, then you're car is fine.

 

alrighty... thanks.

i'll be back when i find out what code it's throw'n

 

well..i did that trick, and it went off for a day, then it randomly came on when i was driving. about to read up on how to find out the code, but i'll be back when i do.

thanks.

 

heh..help me

 

Go to http://www.hondaprelude.to/main_checkengine.html

 

PERFECT!

 

alrighty... got a code 1.

code = Primary Heated Oxygen Circuit

Detection Item:
High/Low Signal

Probable cause:
Open or short in Primary HO2S sensor
Primary HO2S sensor
ECM


that's what some website said. any thing i need to know? should i keep driving my car?

 

You can still drive your car. You just need to either get a new O2 sensor, or check your wireing on your catalic convertor or your header
