Default Check Engine Light

As I was pulling into the parking lot at work yesterday, I noticed my Check Engine light had come on. I took it to Whitby-Oshawa Honda to have it looked at.

The diagnostic found "Code P1172 and P2A00-requires PCM updates". The work was covered by the warranty. They also noted the recently-issued battery plate recall, but the part is on order.

I picked up the car last night, all was well until I got off the highway. The Check Engine light has come on again. I'm taking the car back to the dealer today.

Default Re: Check Engine Light

I took my car back to the dealer today. They found a faulty LAF sensor (I have no idea what that is). Unfortunately, the part is on back-order so I will need to go back. The service advisor tells me the car will use a little more gas than usual and may be a little sluggish. The Check Engine light has remained on.

On the plus side, the battery-cover-related recall was taken care of.

Do you find the car to be sluggish and get less milage?

I haven't driven too far yet. The drive seems okay so far. The instant fuel economy display did suggest more gas was used than normal on my regular route to work yesterday.
