Yellow engine light on. Whats this?

[mykelee]

Dear NSXers,

During a car test, I've seen a yellow light (top left) come up which I think is the engine light. Can anyone tell me what this is telling me to check, or is there a general list it specifically points at.

I've tried the in a test run and long hot traffic car but the engine feels fine.
My friend who is knowledgable with NSXs could not find the fault either.

Any ideas where to start?

Many Thanks

Michael

That's a check engine light. It can mean many things. An NSX service department must connect your computer to device that reads codes from the computer. The resultant code tells them whats wrong.

You can check the codes yourself. For more info see http://www.nsxprime.com/FAQ/DIY/retrieving_trouble_codes_via_service_check_connector.htm

If you have a service manual, you can then look up what each code means and what the next steps to take are to diagnose the problem.
