Malfunction Indicator Light - 98 Honda Civic

**Galant_VR_94** · February 25th, 2009 04:30 AM

Hello fellow tsikoteers, quick question lang po....

I recently got a 98 civic A/T and while driving it last week the Malfunction Indicator Light turned on. After seeing the light i quickly turned the engine and then restarted it again. It happened again after 2 days.... To all honda owners here, i would just like to ask if you've had a similar experience and if so, what were the steps you took to have it fixed....

Honestly i dont have the time to bring the car to the casa. I just have my own mechanic who lives in the village and he doesnt seem to know what the problem with the car is.

Hope to get feedback from all you peeps....

Thanks in advance!

Bring your car into a shop or auto part store near you and they can hook it up to a scanner while the light is on and tell you what it is. There should not be a charge or small charge for that service. Engine light could be anything.

it's super easy to check the codes yourself. there are so many diy links online.

sir, were you able to have it fixed? Had the same problem with 2000 civic A/T. Brought it to casa, they reset the computer module and it was fine for several months, now its back again

Hi Sir, yup i got it fixed already. I brought it to the casa and had my Knock Sensor replaced there. I had them diagnose the problem first by checking the error code.
