If you have recently refueled your
vehicle, the indicator could come on
because of a loose or missing fuel fill
cap. Tighten the cap until it clicks at
least three times. Tightening the cap
will not turn the indicator turn off
immediately; it takes at least three
days of normal driving.
If the indicator remains on, or the
fuel cap was not loose or missing,
have your vehicle checked by the
dealer as soon as possible.
This indicator may also come on
along with the ‘‘D’’ indicator.
If the indicator comes on
while driving, it means one
of the engine’s emissions control
systems may have a problem. Even
though you may feel no difference in
your vehicle’s performance, it can
reduce your fuel economy and cause
increased emissions. Continued
operation may cause serious damage.
Go to a Honda dealer or a service
station where you can get technical
assistance.
Immediately turn off all electrical
accessories. Try not to use other
electrically operated controls such as
the power windows. Keep the engine
running; starting the engine will
discharge the battery rapidly.
If the charging system
indicator comes on brightly
when the engine is running, the
battery is not being charged.
