#1427 of 1533 Radiator Hoses Collapsed on '96 Accord EX by zguy77 Jun 22, 2009 (7:18 pm)
I was running some errands the other day and looked down at my temperature gauge to find that it was well beyond the red. So as soon i got home i shut the car off and popped the hood to take a look at the coolant level to find that it was bone dry. I also noticed that two hoses, the upper and the lower, were collapsed. Does this mean that the hoses were old and just needed replaced or is there something else going on that would have caused this to happen? Anyone with some advise would be much appreciated.

Replying to: zguy77 (Jun 22, 2009 7:18 pm) The system does create a small vacuum when cooling down which then draws coolant from the overflow tank. If both hoses are collapsed, I would suspect the radiator cap is not opening/closing. Another possibility may be the overflow tube by the radiator cap to the tank is plugged.   Mrbill

How does one go about resetting the check engine light after repairs have been made on a '96 Accord EX? Replies to this message: drzoltar (Jun 28, 2009 6:13 pm) omarr (Jun 28, 2009 8:41 pm)

Replying to: zguy77 (Jun 28, 2009 5:23 pm) It should turn off by itself in under 50 miles from the service. If not, take it back as something is wrong. I once had service done where a vacuum seal wasn't reconnected properly and this is why my engine light stayed on.

Replying to: zguy77 (Jun 28, 2009 5:23 pm) To turn the check engine light off. 1. Turn the ignition switch off. 2. Remove the BACK-UP (7.5 A) fuse from the under hood fuse/relay box for 10 seconds to reset the ECM. The fuse/relay box is on the passenger side near the firewall and hood hinge.
#1432 of 1533 Transmission control module by tigeriii Jun 30, 2009 (6:37 pm)
I was told that the TCM probably needs to be replaced on my 97 Accord. Would a problem with the TCM cause a car with a new battery to not start and then start a few minutes later? Replies to this message: elroy5 (Jun 30, 2009 6:47 pm)

Replying to: tigeriii (Jun 30, 2009 6:37 pm) Yes, I believe it could. If the TCM is malfunctioning to the point where it thinks it's in gear, the engine will not start. Not saying it is definitely the problem, but it could be. When the TCM went out in my 92 Accord heat was a major factor. The hotter it was inside the car, the more problems it would cause.

Last night the car wouldn't even start. I disconnected and reconnected the battery cable and it started up. Please help im not sure what to do or how to fix it.

Replying to: oldmanhonda99 (May 25, 2009 2:46 pm) Does your cruise control work, "maintain a set speed". If your cruise works, that tells you the vehicle speed sensor is good. If the speedometer bounces around 20 mph, the speedometer head is bad. Honda calls the speedometer cluster "combination gauge".

Replying to: oldmanhonda99 (May 25, 2009 2:46 pm) I have the same problem and made the sistake of purchasing a VSC and it was not needed, I finally just purchased a GPS which gives me my speed and it has been the least expensive solution.
