Site Subscriber’s ROGER B Posted June 14, 2018 Site Subscriber’s Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Is there a code reader for the 1998 - 2002 v6 accord. Been to 5 so-called ECU professionals but none of them can read the accord v6. Can do up to 1998 and after 2002. Am advised to use flash code reading and one kind guy gave me a fist full of flash code lists. !!! Are there any known places/individuals apart from Stuart where this might be found. The issue is the car goes rather too well, although fuel use is about the same as the other car. Apart from performance and I am sure it has lowered suspension there are no other issues. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PTR200S Posted June 15, 2018 Moderators Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Not sure why you would want to scan it if it *goes rather too well* !!! Think I might want to scan the other one for not going too well ? !!!!! Seriously though, what is it you are looking for? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted June 15, 2018 Administrators Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Also, you might have different tuning or a different autobox, there are three versions of the transmission, the 1998-1999 can drive sluggish compared to 2000-2001 depends on the year of construction rather than first registration date. Retro Rich has a 1999 model on a 2001 plate for example. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with Pete on this - if it's not using excessive fuel and going well, leave it alone! In other words, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Subscriber’s ROGER B Posted June 19, 2018 Author Site Subscriber’s Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Well if it is, I should notify the insurers. Also am led to believe it can mess up the vehicle speed recording data. Within some remapping's ( again so I am led to believe ) certain fault codes are removed from the ECU and warning lights switched off. EU is supposed to be making it harder/illegal for it to be carried out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will want more information than that which you cannot provide, and the code reader won't help you with that, it just tells you something is amiss. You will also need facts re the vehicle speed recording data.... I presume you have an insurance black box fitted ??? The car doesnt record speed data so there is nothing to access there, again i am presuming you mean road speed against actual road speed limits for instance? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted June 19, 2018 Moderators Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 I think you're worrying over nothing to be honest. More likely the other one is slower than this one is especially fast 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
