My 2004 Honda CRV Manual transmission with 160K on it has a glowing Check Engine light. It runs fine. How to proceed?
I can buy an OBDII reader. It looks like they run from $10 to $140 for most of them....If I buy one, what should I look for?
I know the dealer will want one arm and two legs to scan it.
I found the port (Honda calls it a "Data Link Connector." ) I have the factory service manual. It is over 2 inches thick. I looked under every catagory and in the index but no joy as far as a list of codes but I bet the Honda CRV forum has them.
Here is a generic list of Honda codes
So, what is the best way to proceed? This car is an around the town car which I take recycling to the center with. I also have a Toyota Matrix 2006 with 70K on it and a Subaru Forester 2018 with 24K on it for over the road work.
Edmondss/CarMax says the car is worth $2200 cash value
