Replying to: josterholt (Sep 24, 2009 6:42 am) If you just bought the car with 112,000 miles it would be prudent to ascertain that the 105,000 mile service was performed.   This particular serviice is expensive and extensive and if the person was getting ready to sell the car it may have been neglected.

Replying to: josterholt (Sep 24, 2009 6:42 am) Beside the brake fluid flush, if there are no record of any maintenance work, I would suggest to have the transmission flush done first, then the pan dropped and filter/gasket replaced, replace air filter, cabin filter and spark plugs.   If you are handy you can do all of these except transmission service.

Replying to: jodar96 (Sep 24, 2009 10:01 am) All good suggestions except Honda don't recommend "flushing" anything. For the transmission, do a "drain & fill" x3 with ATF-Z1 fluid and you are good to go.
#1893 of 1936 EDR or "black boxes for cars by bajajoes Sep 25, 2009 (1:28 pm)
I would like to know if my 2001 Honda Accord has what is referred to as an   EDR(engine data recorder)? I have heard that some cars have these units   which record various parameters of the car such as speed, brake use,seatbelt use,   air bag deployment and are subject to supoena in case of an accident.   Anyone have info about this?
#1894 of 1936 2001 Accord V6 -- dash (rpm, speed, mileage) not working by keithlca Sep 27, 2009 (10:01 pm)
After I replaced the battery(could be co-incident) , I found the RPM and speedometer stopped working. I saw there's a posting back in 2007 for a '99 Accord with similar problem. However, the poster did not say what is replaced/repaired by the dealer. Anyone else with a similar problem? Could it be the vehicle speed sensor?

Replying to: keithlca (Sep 27, 2009 10:01 pm) After paying $150 to Honda dealer for diagnostic, their conclusion is to replace the speedometer cluster for another $700. I decided to do this with an outside shop. As I was asking quote from different shops, I found that the cluster really is a circuit board with controller IC. Since the problem happened after I replaced the battery, I decided to give it another try by disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it after several minutes. Effectively, I'm resetting the IC. Guess what. The speedometer is working again. Honda engineer should be ashamed of such poor engineering. The controller just didn't know how to get out of an unknown state. I wonder how many speedometer clusters were replaced without any problem. Replies to this message: elroy5 (Oct 05, 2009 5:29 pm)

Replying to: keithlca (Oct 05, 2009 4:45 pm) Car computers, just like other computers, can freeze up, and have errors. A re-boot is many times the simple solution. Saved $700, now that's something to smile about.
#1897 of 1936 98 Accord manual transmission- clutch or synchro rebuild? by blissful Oct 05, 2009 (9:13 pm)
I loaned the car to a friend: she reported that the clutch suddenly would not engage and she could not get it into gear. I suspect she forced it into 2nd, and limped it to a parking lot, leaving it for me to tow home. I had the hydraulic master and clutch cyls replaced, along with the line, to the tune of $600 including parts. Now it is driveable, but 2nd gear synchro is fried. I think she must have broken the teeth off it when forcing it into gear. Car has 145K, runs great otherwise, plan to keep it. No other probs in any other gears, and had none prior to this (maybe slight scrunchiness in 2nd on occasion, and I know this gear tends to wear 1st.) Do I need to just "rebuild the tranny" or ought I just have the synchro replaced in this gear?
#1898 of 1936 Resetting " maint reguired "light by jodar96 Oct 06, 2009 (5:36 am)
Does anyone know how to reset this light or has a website link that shows the steps to do this for 2001 Accord 4 cylinder?   My son drives this car and I noticed the light being on. The car has 128K miles. I have done all the maintenance on the car and it does not need to go to the dealer for any service so far.   Thanks, Joe Replies to this message: snuke (Oct 06, 2009 5:48 am)

Replying to: jodar96 (Oct 06, 2009 5:36 am) Joe, these instructions are the ones listed in my 2000 Accord manual.   1. TURN OFF THE ENGINE   2. PRESS AND HOLD THE SELECT/RESET BUTTON ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, THEN TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH ON   3. HOLD THE BUTTONS FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS, UNTIL THE INDICATOR RESETS.   I hope this helps.
