Charging System Warning Light; Check Engine Warning Light - Honda 1991 Accord Sedan Owner's Manual

Charging System Warning Light

The charging system warning light comes on when there is a
problem with the electrical charging system or when the ignition
switch is turned on with the engine not running. If the light comes
on while driving, get off the road, stop the car and turn off the
ignition. Then check the alternator belt for proper tension.
To check the belt tension, push with about 98 N (22 lb) of force on
the middle of the belt as shown. The belt should deflect about:
1 0 - 1 2 mm (0.4-0.5 in)
If the engine has been running, some engine components may
be hot enough to burn you.
Keep hands away from the radiator fan. The fan may start
automatically without warning and run for up to 15 minutes,
even after the engine is turned off.
NOTE:
If necessary, have the charging system checked by an authorized
Honda dealer.

Check Engine Warning Light

This light comes on for a couple of seconds each time the ignition is
turned on. It will also come on, and remain on, if there is a
malfunction in the emission control system. If the light comes on
while driving, avoid driving at high speed, and have the system
checked by a Honda dealer as soon as possible.
