faulty ECM
Decided to sell my 2000 Insight with 58,000 miles and someone pointed
out that some insights have had a problem with the computer and oxygen sensor. Looking back, the ECU and ECM have already been replaced, but the check engine light has gone on several times since then with no real problem identified...The word "lemon" was uttered....How can it be? I loved the car and took it into the shop as needed.....thinking back....did it need it too much? Any similar experiences out there? |

faulty ECM
When the check engine light comes on you have to read out the codes from the
computer with an OBDII scanner. This and only this will give an indication where the problem is. It could be as simple as a loose gas cap but could be any of hundreds of other items monitored by the computer. So instead of crying over it here take it to a qualified mechanic and have it diagnosed properly.....

Any similar experiences out there? > it is exceedingly rare for there to be ecu/ecm module faults. always always always seek second or even third opinions when you're being told there's such a problem. go to a better shop and make sure the vehicle is examined by a senior experienced mechanic. sometimes independent shops have better honda talent than dealerships because dealer pay rates are frequently only good for young trainees. |
