If the check engine light illuminates in your 2005 Honda Accord, the first step is to pull over safely and turn off the engine. Driving with potential engine issues can lead to permanent damage to your vehicle. After stopping, you can utilize an OBD II scan tool to identify the specific code triggering the warning light. For instance, a simple fix like checking for a loose gas cap and securing it could resolve the issue. However, if the problem is more complex, you will need to replace the faulty components before resetting the check engine light to prevent it from reactivating if the issue persists.
Start the car by turning the key and then press the reset button. Keep holding down the select/reset button until the maintenance required light turns off.
