Awesome.

Please share his , thanks.

Sheuns:


You need to see an electric steering expert. I know one at Oyingbo market in Lagos. If you don’t mind.

I’m seeing this sign on my dashboard, what’s the meaning?

MrBodd:

Indicating your car model too if important.

From the look of things, I think your airbag system needs to be checked, I'm suspecting the steering wheel/dashboard airbag. Did it suddenly pop up or you had a slight collision or you entered a big bump?

Have a rewire check the module.

Please Honda people, advice me, I want to go into uber biz and I have been researching for the best car for this and my budget is 5m, please is the Honda worth it? As I hear it has many issues and always have alignment problems, pls I need your humble opinion and advice🙏

If it’s accord, it’s not the best in of fuel consumption for uber. A city or civic would be better. Aside fuel consumption, accord beats those two.

Thanks for your input, when you say aside fuel consumption the Accord is good, does that means it has low maintenances and is more stronger than the civic?

The accord is better than the civic in power, aesthetics, handling etc. It is not cheaper to maintain when compared to a civic. Though if handled properly, it is a reliable ride.

Sheuns have said it all.

Honda Civic and Honda City are fuel efficient due to the small engine capacity. Just ensure you carry out proper maintenance and you'll be fine. Parts are expensive generally now due to high exchange rate, just so you know.

Hi guys,

The are times the steering wheel of my Accord 2013 gets difficult to turn.

The solution would then be to turn off the ignition and restart.

What's weird is scanning the car doesn't reveal the cause of the issue.

Has anyone else experienced similar?

I have experienced same with my 2007 honda civic. The first guy I met clean the abs sensor. And later also clean a wire socket inside the engine The guy seems not to know what he was doing. Lol. Wasted my time. Two days later difficult to turn. Immediately I off ignition and on it back shaking the steering it becomes free. I went to same guy place twice. No solution. After a week i experienced same issue. Later, An electrician in Apo mechanic village, Abuja directed me to another guy place using powerful scanner (like Scotty Kilmer) and he scan the the car and deleted the code he saw & Reset something sha. and it has been a month now, I haven't experienced difficulties in turning. Although he told me i won't experience it again, that if I do, the steering rack inside is bad

Loneley:
Thanks.

Since it uses an electrical steering rack, I'll check if it comes with a pump

Electric steering assist has no business with pump or steering fluid. Your assist motor is probably on its way out.

Macmilla:

Bros be calming down.
All 7the gen accord with v6 engine do not have any sensor on the radiator. Both ECtlT sensor 1 and 2 are on the engine. (Picture 1)
All 7the gen accord with i4 engine has either Fan switch (04-05) or ECT sensor 2 (05-06) on the radiator. (Picture 2)
If your i4 7th gen has nothing on the radiator, then it is either Honda is hiding something or you need to know your car better.
If your car is actually a i4 with nothing on the radiator, then educate us (with evidence) on how the car is controlling the fan.

For the i4 06 accord, When ECT2 fails.. Cooling fan will be controlled via ECT 1 values.

I once had a defective ECT2.. Cooling fans did not come on even when coolant temperature was almost at the red mark.
I removed the 2p connector from the ECT 2 and fans started working normally.

Meaning you did direct connection...hahahahahs

Read what he wrote carefully sir

Buying Nigeria used car should be a free to Heaven from Hell.

Update on my earlier post.

Changed all four 5 tyres.

Sterling rack and pump fixed. Cost 125k for both.

Fixed engine oil leaks I complained about last time. ( Oil still dey leak small small). But I go manage am till I get a new engine or sell it or it becomes worse or eventually fixed with original oil seal. The mechanic said the factory original is hard to come by. And nobody go comot am from working engine give you.

Fixed the four legs with the back hubs too. Make I observe am for another week or two. Especially ball t. One is now 15k. Damn! I shouted. Wetin we dey buy 3.5k that year for Honda Bullet? It is well.

All sensors changed ( about 8 in all, including MAP and the 2 O2 sensors. O2 sensors cost 16k each. Nor know if dem cheat me sha. Others are cheaper.

Fuel consumption is better now. But e still dey chop fuel. Guess it's because no indomie and the fan is on direct. I am thinking of fixing this too. But the mechanic thinks say I wan waste money. He said it will have little or no impact on fuel consumption. Especially since na Naija used already. Do you think he is right?

Now, na gear dey misbehave somehow. It has difficulty selecting lower gears. This just started last week after the sensors were fixed. If it goes from 5 to 1 on a slow down, it will have issues picking from 1 again, maybe until after a few seconds or forcefully. And it leaps at times when changing which does not make driving smooth.

Advise me. Is this a major issue?

I would have loved to sell it and buy another since I observed this gear issue. But my fear is that I don almost fix this one finish. What if the next Naija used is worse?

Truth is I nor get budget for direct toks now.

Well done Sir. You've really done well in ensuring a perfect ride experience.

Concerning your fuel consumption, I'll advise you revert your fan to factory setting for fuel optimization. Buying a catalyst has no impact on your fuel consumption because it's strictly emission control. So long your o2 sensor is fine, then you have nothing to worry. However, if you're in the class of someone like me who hates to see check engine light on dashboard, then you can get the China catalyst installed to clear that light.

As for your gear, I think you need to see a gear specialist for best advise. Try to get it serviced first, but if the situation no improve, abeg just save up and buy a new gear to save you lots of headache.

You're a very strong man for carrying out such repairs in this economy and God will replenish your pocket.

Which brand of car?

Just a piece of advice, let's try to ensure we get original components for our cars to ensure long lasting driving experience, less visits to mechanic shops and buying of expensive parts, due to the hight costs of parts now.

I visited my mechanic in oyingbo lately for minor leg repairs and change of back engine seat and all of this cost me close to 140k, which would have cost me not more than 50k early last year.

Parts don cost oo, if you cut corners to buy inferior parts, you'll end up spending more in the long run by buying multiples of inferior parts which will end up costing more than the actual original one.

My two cents.

I have a question. Does the radiator fan cools the engine directly or mainly cools the radiator coolant?

pls, who knows a very good "rewire"?

i went to one guy to help me make the driver window to wind down, he did it, did the central lock ..but the sun roof stopped opening, and one of the inner lights stopped coming on.

when i lock the car, the blinker lights don't come on and when the doors are opened, the right front door don't show on the dashboard, but does when the right back door is opened.

very annoying.

Honda Accord 2007 CL9 (they call in Accord UK or Europe)

Aka acura tsx old model. Check the fuses at engine bay or whwrevee they hid it in the car.

This is weird cos I have the same car. But a general note about cars... Cars are built the way they should work. If for some reason they can't work as designed, they may have a failsafe, by, limpmode, etc. These is to avoid being stranded in the middle of nowhere, but not to be used as alternatives. And the car must surely complain. You can not use a failsafe as daily use, it will definitely have repercussions in future.
Having said this, I have this same car. ECT1 reads the temperature of the engine itself which is what you see on the instrument cluster, while ECT2 reads temperature of radiator. The radiator is what is majorly cooled by the fan, so it makes sense that ECT 2 controls the fan. I posted sometime ago about my experience with my radiator and I can CONFIRM that the fan does not come on without a connected and functional ECT 2 even when the temperature gauge on the instrument cluster is hitting the red line.
I don't know what is going on with your car but I advice you make sure your car is electrically ok.

Fan cools the radiator, that is why it is mounted on the radiator and also why the both fan switch and ect2 are mounted on the radiator.

good, if that's the case, if thermostat is in place, fan on direct has little or no effect ( I stand to be corrected though). Since it's only when the engine reaches the set temperature is when coolant will go through. I wanna learn o

Wrong.
Yes the fan cools mainly the radiator, but it also circulate air through the engine for more or less direct cooling.
The cooling system (including the radiator) is a pressurized system when working and the pressure is achieved with increased temperature. Constant cooling means the required pressure will be difficult to achieve.
If the radiator is very cool while the engine is very hot, imagine what will happen when the cool coolant from the radiator hits the very hot engine. Metals do not like rapid cooling (quenching).
Cool coolant on one side of the thermostat and very hot coolant on the other side means the thermostat will not work appropriately.
As the thermostat opens, cool coolant rushes into the engine, cooling it rapidly. Then the thermostat will close fast (due to the cool coolant) and the engine temperature will rise again. This cycle will keep raising and crashing the engine temperatre, confusing your ECU.
In all these, you will hardly achieve closed loop. Failure to get to closed loop means your ECU will continue dumping fuel in your engine, trying to warm up.
Lastly, your fan takes some energy to run. This energy is drawn from your alternator. Your alternator draws from the energy produced by the engine. This means that constantly running the fan is taking reasonable energy from your engine. This will stress your alternator and reduce its life span and also further increase fuel consumption.

My fan were connected directly. How do we fix this?

Please I need the of any good gear master at Oyingbo. And directions on how to get there from Marina or Costain. Thanks.
