No CEL light

Post by Rocketrooney » Thu May 15, 2014 3:48 pm

Hey, haven't been on in a good while now.

But decided to fire up the lude as the good weather is coming back in and have encountered a problem. the dash display seems to be getting power but there is no CEL light coming on and when I try to crank the engine over nothing happens.

I was hoping someone on here could help point me in the right direction on how to solve this problem

Thanks in advance

Check the fuses first man, then the connections to the ECU in the passenger footwell. I assume the battery is deffo good?

I have replaced the fusebox on the driver's foot well and also replaced the fuses in the fusebox in the engine bay, checked to see if the ecu was connected also and it is. I think it could be a relay, as my headlights, power windows and electric folding mirrors are working fine, but my moonroof and horn don't seem to be operational. When I turn the ignition on I can hear the fuel pump prime either.

just gave up hope on it, breaking the shell and getting rid of whatever jdm bits i've got. Just going to just use the engine in a civic swap. Although it breaks my heart to let it go, it's time to move on.

But the Lude will always be in my heart, had plenty of fond memories in it
