Last night, my son's Fit (67,110 miles) had three warning lights come on: stability control, tire pressure, and check engine. Not a good sign. I'll connect the OBD II reader when he gets home from work.

 

Well, with the Stability Control, The Tire Pressure, you kind of had a theme going, which may of pointed you in a direction.
But with the Check Engine light also illuminating?
I think you are going to need that OBD II reader.

Good Luck.

 

it's just telling you time for new car. congrats! great excuse

 

Was he off-roading?

 

Yes. He's afraid to ride on public roads, so he always finds trails through the woods. You should see all the scratches and dents on the car!

Kidding, of course. A parking lot is about as off-road as he gets.

 

Right! It's over three years old! That's just short of the seventeen years we kept our previous two Civics. I like the "forward observation" available in the top-of-the-line new Fits, but it's still way too soon to buy another one. I think the next Fir I buy will be self-driving. : )

I put the OBD tester on the car, and it said, "Lean mixture in Bank #1," or words to that effect. This time, there was a steering wheel with an exclamation point, but no engine. I tried it again, and everything was off. The emissions level was amber - rather than green or red.

Wait a minute! This happened on Halloween! The time to scare people.
