Question

I need to know what it means when the check engine light is on in a 2000 Honda CRV.

Answer 1

The Check Engine Light was designed for a clean air program. Which is to protect the enviroment from harmful emission produced by vehicles.Whenever the CK ENG LT is on. the engine management detects a emission problem that is outside its normal operating range. It will store a DTC (diagnostic trouble code) the use of a scan tool is needed to retreive this code which helps the technician trouble shoot the problem
