Good day Luvinhubby.
Pls what average scan tool would you recommend for a 2005 Honda Accord,5speed manual tranny...pics and/or contacts will really help if any..

Also,do you have any professional mech's contact in abuja(maybe Kubwa) to help check my instrument cluster,everything works except fuel guage and speedometer,they don't move at all...I also need to re-install my thermostat as I discovered it was bypassed because:
1)my temp guage never gets to the middle area.
2)the fan starts immediately ignition is on.
Thanks,awaiting your reply.

due to the codes posted below..i would like to know how much you would sell the downstream 02 sensor.. The one at the catalyst converter.. For Honda accord 05...v4...including courier to ph.. As well as the price of thermostat for same car..i want to confirm if this code.. P0139 is for the downstream sensor.. While p0128 is for lack of thermostat in the car making the engine run cold...pls your price quotes sir.

luvinhubby:

Good day house. Pls is vehicle speed sensor same as transmission gear switch and if not. Where is the vss located in a Honda crv 2005.thanks

When my car was running without thermostat It did not throw a P0128 code. The P0128 is most probably due to the cooling fans running continuously.

We once discussed about returning your cooling fans back to factory setting, then, I even made an offer to direct you on what to do via video call but....

This your EOD don show you pepper sha, price was probably cheap.. You just rush am

captainking:

Hahahhaa.. The boss himself.. I probably did not see your post then.. Sorry about that.. The eod no dey show me pepper oo.. Na just those two issues be wtin I dey battle with.. Thanks for the reminder boss.. So. How do I rectify the fan issue.. You can help me with that I am sure.. Thanks a lot..

thebigkendo:


You want make I digg out all the EOD v6 V4 queries and Obd codes you don post for nairaland??

My Honda accord 99 blinks on D4 and vibrates when I change the gear to reverse. Please what is the cause and solution

luvinhubby:


Engine mounts, most likely the rear one.

Car has insurance? it's a win win if you did not devalue your car when filling the paperwork.

Josiah360:


Please how do I start with the repair. Where do I go first? Panel beater or mechanic?

I plan to take it to Honda Village (Ebute Metta).

Do you have anyone you can recommend please?

Tow it down

Josiah360:


It drives. Do u still recommend I tow it? Or just drive it down? Its at FRSC office Sura.

captainking:
i remember it all.. And it still falls back to the sme two..i cleared the rest.. I remember the upstream sensor Code....cleared.. And the camshaft position sensor circuit a or so... Cleared.. ;DLeft with those two codes.. Question boss. If you fan ain't using thermostat... Ain't that gonna cause overheating.. Or will it regularize your fuel consumption as though the thermostat is there?? All conditions being okay....??

thebigkendo:


You are mixing it up..
- Thermostat does not control the fan..
- Thermostat is a valve which opens or closes depending on engine temperature.. It opens to allow cool coolant pass through the engine.
-Your cooling fan is controlled by a coolant temperature switch(thermistor)/fan switch or by the ECU which gets engine temperature values via coolant temperature sensors.
-On your Honda, Cooling fans are suppose to come on when the engine coolant temperature is above 95degC

So now back to you question..
If your cooling fan is rewired to start running immediately engine starts,It won't cause overheating(assuming no other issue with the Cooling system) instead it will cause overcooling since the coolant temperature will never get to 90degC..
This will make the car consume a little more fuel and ECU will throw a P0184 code - Coolant Temperature Below Thermostat Regulating Temperature

Namzy:

Hmm actually if the thermostat is measuring engine temp then running your fan directly won't have any effect on it since the thermostat WON'T OPEN unless the temp of the engine require to open it is reached irrespective of the temp of the coolant. The only problem I see here is the thermostat opening and closing often plus reduced life if the fan from running constantly and engine strain from running fan always
