HONDA CIVIC
Running issues
The owner of this 2013 Honda Civic diesel had read off his own fault codes by the time he got to me and so was aware that he had a couple of issues that needed resolving. The motor was feeling a little rough when accelerating and with the two codes he had was unsure where to start.
The codes he had read off were P16CD and P049B. These were showing two different issues and I suspected the last code P049B was the one giving the poor acceleration. This was referring to the EGR valve and indicated insufficient flow. The details on the other code refer to the glow plug circuit (P16CD) and although these issues also needed addressing, the EGR valve was the one I was going to start with.
The EGR valve on this engine is very accessible and easily removed and cleaned, so this was my first step, I did also check the continuity of the glow plugs circuit using an ohm meter and found the poor connection that was causing the code. A good clean of the EGR valve and with the glow plug wiring problem rectified the EGR valve was replaced, and the codes cleared. Starting up the engine and giving it a good run, I was pleased to see that the EML stayed out.
