Hello guys this is my first post here, I've recently acquired a 2003 Accord EX 2.4L, the car appears to not have been taken care of by its previous owner, I got it as part of a debt owed to me. The car appears to have a couple of issues and I'd love to hear your opinions on why they were done or what is causing these things.
1- The Electrical Fan is powered directly from the ignition, as soon as you turn the switch to II, the fan starts up and doesn't work as intended (temp controlled)
2- I took the car to a local service shop because it had the Check Engine on, where they hooked up the scanner and told me the car was throwing up: Thermostat range error (I wonder if this has anything to do with the fan problem) and he mentioned it was throwing a speed sensor in the ABS front left tire and Airbag module left front and passenger front. Also some kind of "seatbelt tensioner" error.
Here's the thing, the airbag light and side airbag on the dash board come up once the switch is in the II position, and they turn off a second or 2 after car is on. The ABS light does the same, which makes me wonder if the Scanner found airbag and Abs code shouldn't these lights light up?
I tried to disconnect the Yellow plug under the seat to the side airbag and the Side Airbag light did NOT stay on after the car was started.
I'm suspecting the lights have been tampered with in some way to make them not report an actual error. I popped the plastic under steering wheel and the 2 wire yellow plug used to get SRS codes was unplugged, not sure if this has any effect, I plugged it back in, no change in light behavior. I noticed two plugs which do not have any input but I read those are for fog light installation. I hope someone has any ideas for me.
