Why is the emission lamp on in my car?

Way2Short · 05-03-2006, 04:54 PM

For some reason, the emmision orange lamp light is lighting up in my car. (06 civic lx MT) I think its because i unpluged the sensory that connects to the header and something. I don't know why I did it but now the light is always on. How do i fix this problem? thanks, please let me know....

I don't know if unplugging the battery for like 15 min and then putting it back would do it or not. It still might take a while for it to reset, or the dealership might have to do it.

I pluged it back in but the light is still on when i drive it. This happened last night so i am going to give it a few days and hope it goes away.

i agree with webby, try disconnecting the negative battery cable for about 15 minutes. this should reset the light if the problem is fixed.

it should go away if nothings wrong in 3-5 drive or duty cycles

ok great. After class today, went to my car to go home. The light problem is no more. I think the car's ecu had to adjust and then thats when the light went away. thanks for input you guys
