Hello, could use the help.
I have a 2011 fit with 82,000 miles. Yesterday the engine light came on and then it became sluggish and then engine light began to flash at 2000-3000 rpms and will not go higher. Hence, not a very drivable vehicle.

I checks the dbw 15amp fuse and switch the relays to test if one was bad. Just filled tank with new gas. Im lost and need help.

Thanks

 

what's the error code?

 

How do I find the error codes?

 

Check engine light flashes while there is severe misfire occurring.

Read fault codes to figure out what the computer saw wrong.
Usual misfire suspect is ignition coil failure, but this should be checked out (diagnosed) to determine the correct answer and resolution before throwing money at it. Could be as simple as rodent chewed wires. Could be many things.

 

Is it possible that I have bad gasoline. I've read many places that the change over from summer to winter can create such an issue. I've also read the issue is related to the number 51 fuse, dbw. This dude handles the throttle actuator control. Now one of the relays in the fuse box are part of this system. I've switched them around with inconclusive results. Everything started the next morning after filling up atop a quarter tank of gas. As the morning wore on the engine light came on. 20 mins late I shut car off and enetered a cabling/communication store. Went turned car on and then as I made way to on ramp of a highway the car began to shudder and failed to exceed the Rpm limits I mentioned. Finally got car home. I've been running the car in idle for the past several hours in effort to burn off gas.

 

As soon as you tell us what the actual fault code is, I can confirm it has nothing to do with the throttle.

 

If I can find the codes I would. I haven't any idea how to obtain them. I have laptop and any cable to connect to any device. I can download any application if it available and attach it to any location on the FIT, but I don't have any device currently to read the codes save my laptop. Please advise as to how I obtain codes

 

Ok, so where it the little blue connector located on my 2011 Fit that I need to short out or loop back and then watch thecheck engine light to count the flashes to provide the codes? Thank you

 

Although when the fuse in position 52 is out the RPMS will only rise to a bit over 1000 RPMs, hence the something with the fuel system is amiss. Though I suppose it could be a random misfire of a cylinder. The RPMs and throttle actuator came from a Video of a common problem. the Honda had the exact same problem, or very close to the one I am having. The light comes on and as engine heats and or rises to the 3000 -4000 RPM level it begins to flash and continues to flash.

 

Go to AutoZone, have them read the codes for you.

You may be causing even more codes yourself by removing fuses unnecessarily.

 

Really cant drive it to Advanced auto. In all reality take a look at this video. This is what is happening to my vehicle. There has been no change while looking for the fuse that may have been blown. Looking for a blown fuse isn't an uncommon effort.

 

The OBD connector and obtaining the codes is discussed here at this site as well. They explain the simple procedure of shorting out 2 pins 4 and 9 and then interpreting the flashes of the check engine light.

 

Until you have obtained a fault code(s) in the standard OBD2 format of "Pxxxx", you have little information of significance.

Beg, borrow, or steal a OBD2 code reader to begin.

 

Nah, there are ways to obtain codes. Thanks for not. There isn't any great help here. Oh well, as always Time to roll

 

I told you why a check engine light flashes.

You haven't even accomplished the necessary work to obtain real fault codes. You instead seem to prefer to waste valuable time and resources on guesses.

Have a nice day.

 

Wow that's just arrogance

 

.......



I'm not the one who still has a broken car.

 

Ok,

So when you use the old fashioned analogue code is 4 long 7 long 2 short or 4 dashes 7 dashes 2 dots In repetitive signaling from the check engine light which can be induced by looping back pin 4 to pin 9 on the obd connector.

If I could find a code break down it.would be awesome

Thanks

 

Good luck with that, I seriously doubt you will ever find such info.
Honda was phasing out their engine light flash code troubleshooting 15 years ago.
It's a totally unsupported format now, there is zero info in the FSM.

Troubleshooting using only flash codes was much like only having a hammer in your toolbox anyway.

 

I've found the info here on this site. Thanks for your vote of confidence. Nothing personal but if you short out pins 4 and nine the flashes sequence.
