I had a bad position switch in my 03EXV6. That caused the TCS lignt
 to come on.
When the TCS light came on, it triggerred the triangle light to come
on also to indicate the TCS was deactivated.
 
Maybe something else to cause only the triangle light to come on.
I think it could be a faulty traction control switch.

Could also be a wheel speed sensor. I remember reading about corrosion causing them to fail.

replacing 2006 Accord Map light bulb by nclefty

Can someone tell me how to remove the plastic lens over the 2 map lights in a 2006 Accord? I assume it simply pries off, but I don't want to break it so I thought I'd ask before I attempted it.
 
My real problem is this - when I open a door, only the right maplight comes on, even though the left light works if I reach up and toggle it on. Does the map lights use dual filament bulbs?
 
Thanks

I am pretty sure if there is a problem with a wheel speed sensor, the
TCS warning light will come on. When my TCS light cam on, I looked
up to see what could cause the light to come on. Here are the possible causes:: pressure in the TCS/VSA modulator, brake position switch, and wheel speed sensors.
There will be codes for those conditions.
When the TCS light comes on, so does the triangle light.
 
Under the normal condition, the triangle light comes on & stays on when the driver turns off the TCS feature by pressing the TCS switch.
But the light will go off on the next engine start.
The flashing triangle light indicates the TCS is in action.
 
I wonder if the orginal poster's TCS warning light has burnt out.

When the wheels slip on acceleration, only the triangle light comes on (I think), so if one of the front wheel sensors is reading false (low or high), the traction control could be activated, and thus the triangle light, without the TCS light. In this scenario however, it seems like he would feel the TCS activate. It could also be a switch or relay, I suppose, but I would check the easy thing first (brake pedal position switch).

Hook in rear floor mat by tallman1

Hey, grad... or anyone else who has an 06-07 EX with cloth seats. Is there a hook for your rear passenger side floor mat near the top or front of the mat?
 
I just noticed that mine had one but that the left side does not. I'm not sure if it is for the electronics that are below the front passenger seat (I understand that seat heater controls are under there) and it is supposed to keep the mat from sliding up.
 
I don't know if the cloth seats have other electronics under the front passenger seat or if it is only with the leather seats. Just wondered why there is only a hook on that side and not the other. And the hook is near front unlike the driver's mat which has two hooks at the rear. Interesting.

Thanks to you both. Now I want to know why it is there.

Fuel Economy for 2003 Accord EX-4L by bav_fan07

Hello everyone, I've been noticing that on a full tank of gas, and a good mix of city and highway driving, I am barely getting 500km (approx 310.7 miles) on a full tank. Just wanted to get some fellow owners opinions if that is to low or about avg for a call that is almost 7 years old (Bought it brand new in april 2003.)
 
The care only has about 87,000 km (approx 54,000 miles). I just changed the spark plugs, air and cabin filters recently.
 
Are you guys getting about the same mileage? better? worse? I would like to hear your opinions. I live in a suburban area full of traffic so as mentioned above it is a mix of city and highway driving.
 
any input would be greatly appreciated.
