Civinfo - View Single Post - Engine Check System ON glowplug indicator flashing

Got this error yesterday as I started the car to go to work (after year of happy motoring).

I checked the oil level and it was fine although mid level now between the two markers. Previously it was much higher up 4/5.

I put in another half a litre of oil just to top it back up so back at top now.

But error still there (flashing glow plugs indicator and ALERT SYSTEM msg) and would not go away.

Any way after searching this great site - booked into Honda dealer Dutton Forshaw at Bexley (Matt) who was very helpful and kindly got me booked in even though they were very busy ; 1st thing the next morning.

They checked out the problem and they said it just required a reset of the system.

Annoying problem/visit but well handled by Honda dealer and quickly resolved.

I will try and check the oil level more regularly to ensure it is above the half way mark to make sure this does not occur again.

watch this space!
