Hi guys..

My Honda accord 2008 has its CEL on. Scanned and got codes pointing to the crankshaft sensor. Car drives smoothly only that it misfires (jerks) like once in 2 months.
Whenever this happens, the CEL starts blinking and the car goes into LIMP mode. Electricians here seem clueless about a solution - they only use the scanner to clear the CEL, after which it comes on again.

I have changed the crankshaft sensor but the while issue still persists

P.S - I also experience hard starting, especially in the mornings

Please help guys - issue is driving me nuts.

Sensor was replaced but not reset or bad sensor.

1)Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm in P or N, until the radiator fan comes on.

2) Test-drive the vehicle on a level road: Decelerate from 2,500 rpm down to 1,000 rpm with the A/T in 2, or the M/T in 2nd.

Repeat step 2 several times.

3)Turn the ignition switch to LOCK.

4)Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and wait 30 seconds.

Is it a used sensor? IF YES Problem is still there. The K24Z2/3 is notorious for crankshaft sensor failure.

But, try doing a back to back fluid change, may be a dirt issue.

Honda Genuine power steering fluid and ATF-DW1 are the recommended fluids.
Make sure you get the original as the market has been flooded with clones from China

Please any ideas where to get original Honda power steering fluid, ATF-DW1? What other oils shouldn't one compromise. I am thinking of changing all oils in my honda pilot.

Hello guys, please what is the recommended oil for what is the recommended engine oil for Honda Accord 2009 v6 3.5L? I mean the best I can get? i just bought the car and CEL just started displaying few days ago. a technician has checked and told me the oil is a bit too thin and has advised me to change the oil.

Around 24th December the oil was changed but I suspect that oil is not up to the recommended quality. Car drives smooth and no other issues

5w20 conventional. You can use synthetic if you choose but not necessary.

Okay thanks. I'm a newbie, so mind giving me a specific brand that meets the specs so I go get it myself directly?

It's not the brand. You just need to make sure the spec is 5w20. We sell ours for about 10k for the conventional but any brands will do.
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by radautoworks: 6:21pm On Jan 18, 2020
hypazmedia:


How about Mobil 1?

That's synthetic. Yes, you can use it as long as it's 5w20

Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Mcleo007(m): 10:19am On Jan 19, 2020
Hello everyone, gurus and fans of Honda in the house.

My Honda Civic, 2009 model; the 'D' drive sign on the dashboard has been blinking for a while now. I have thought to take it to my rewire or mechanic upon my next servicing which would be ending of the month. I want to know what the problem could be so I can also have knowledge about it so my rewire or mechanic doesnt profer the wrong solution to it or bill me over something that could be a minor electrical fitting.

Thanks


------------------------------------

Immediately after posting this, I decided to do a Google check. This best answers the question;

Hi There, The blinking D light indicates that there is a problem with the transmission. This may be something mechanical such as a shift solenoid or possibly some electrical such as a transmission speed sensor. This may also indicate that the transmission fluid may be low as well. I would not recommend driving the vehicle any further until you have this looked at by a qualified mechanic in order to avoid any potential further damage to the transmission.

NB:
Posted this so it can be of help to anyone who might have similar problem.

My Maintenance Tips:

1.) Change Engine Oil every 3000km (I use Mobil)
2.) Use Oando's Dexron II for the Gear Box (Abro will knock your gear) - (already mentioned)
3.) While driving be mindful not to always turn the steering to the last possible angle(helps the shaft)
4.) If you have an open roof, periodically clean the drainage hole to avoid water leaking into the car
5.) Vibrating Sound infront of the car? Check your engine sitting(already mentioned)
6.) Your single pipe radiator which used to work might not be the cause of your current over-heating...Check your water pump!
7.) Your car is not accelerating according to pedal pressure? Timing Belt might be the culprit.

Just my 2cents guys. Hope this helps someone. I luv this thread like I luv my Honda.
