Honda Clarity Vlog – Tip#007: Check Engine Lights @ 11,000 miles – 12 Volt Reset!

Welcome Honda Clarity Tip and Vlog (RTwC) episode 007! I am at 11,053 miles and 7 months of ownership with my Honda Clarity PHEV. This morning I got Check Engine Light (CEL) and other systems sending alerts on my dash board. Brake system problem, Hill assist problem, Engine error, TMPS sensor problem and other issues popping up.

I have full charge on my PHEV battery and a full tank of gas. The temperature was 74 degrees so it wasnt cold. I drove it around the block and the CEL light did not clear. So having to go to work, I opened the hood and disconnected the 12 volt battery for 5 minutes. With most cars this will reset or have the car’s computer clear some codes to recheck what was wrong. While under the hood, i checked the oil, brake, coolant, and windshield liquid levels. Everything was a good levels except the wind shield fluid (https://amzn.to/2K1tqvB ) which i added more. I closed the hood and drove the Honda Clarity around the block and the CEL lights cleared and never came back. UPDATE* It has not reappeared even after 200 miles of driving. If in doubt bring it to a Honda Dealer to check!

The Honda Clarity is a pretty great car with good designed an comfortable ride. I believe Honda programming my have its initial bugs as this was the first model year.
Among other things I will be driving her as a commuter care and a roadtrip car, as I got all weather mats for her ( https://amzn.to/2VIaxBh ) which were great with all the road trips!

DIY: 2016-2019 Honda Civic Sport (2.0L) Engine Air Filter Check / Replace.

DIY: 2016-2019 Honda Civic Engine Air Filter Check / Replace.

This is just a simple how to video on checking and replacing the engine air filter from a 2016-2019 Honda CIvic 2.0L non-turbo engine. It takes only a couple of minutes when doing your weekly or monthly under the hood check up on your car. It can save you time from waiting and money from labor costs. You will need a 2016-2019 Honda Civic (2.0L) air filter ( https://amzn.to/34gfar4 ).

Back story: I drive about 2,000 miles or more a month if I go on road trips. Soon Honda service reminder A01 (oil and filter change and tire rotation) will alert. That’s a good time to check the how dirty your air filter is. So to help others I made a DIY video on how to open and check the air box filter of the 2019 Honda Civic (2.0L). 🙂

The air box is on the driver side and is held by two metal clips and two slide in plastic tabs. With the car off, open the hood , unlock the two metal clips, and wiggle and slide the top cover of the air box towards the engine to unhook the two plastic tabs. The Honda Civic 2.0L engine air filter part is Part # 17220-5BA-A00 ( Amazon: https://amzn.to/34gfar4 ).

I cleaned up the air box and picked off some leaves and bugs and replaced the filter back into the box and reversed the process to close up air box.

I hope this vlog helpful. Stay tuned for more Vlogs and DIY about my 2018 Honda Clarity, 2017 Chevy Volt, and 2019 Honda Civic Sport.
