#1428 of 1531 Re: Radiator Hoses Collapsed on '96 Accord EX [zguy77] by mrbill1957 Jun 23, 2009 (2:47 am)
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 1531 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.

Aloha,   I am new here. My ABS light comes on and off sometimes and starts making a clicking sound, the speedometer drops and sometimes when i come to a complete stop the car completely shuts off. 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.
#1437 of 1531 96 Honda Accord EX is Really Loud when I accelerate by zileki Jul 23, 2009 (9:09 pm)
Hello--   I just bought a '96 Accord EX Wagon (automatic transmission) with right around 100K miles. The car seems to be running well in many respects, BUT...   ...it started out having a faint, but still noticeable fuel odor right when I started it. I also began to notice a high pitched noise when driving at low speeds. More recently (I've only driven it about 2,500 miles), it started to become very loud when the transmission shifts between up in low gears (it could be doing at high speeds too, but I just don't notice because of road noise). It sounds like an exhaust/muffler sound, but it also feels so sluggish that I worry it could be a transmission issue.   I really love this car and want it to last a long time. Any advice before I take it to the mechanic?
