If the check engine light on your 2001 Honda Civic comes on, it's essential to pull over as soon as you can. Continuing to drive with the light on could lead to more damage to the failing components. Once you've stopped, you can use an OBD II scan tool to identify the issue. If it's a minor issue like a vacuum leak, you can clear the code in the ECU and the light should go off. However, for a more significant or persistent problem, the light will illuminate once you start driving again until you address the issue.
To reset the check engine light in a 2001 Honda Civic, start by checking the light on the windshield. Next, turn on the ignition and check if the check engine light is steady or blinking. Find the jumper plug on the check engine panel and connect it. Turn the ignition on and reset the engine light for testing purposes.
