How to Fix an A123 Honda Service Code?
1. Get an Engine Oil Change for Better Performance
The A123 service code on your Honda Civic or Honda Accord is accompanied by an oil life indicator warning. This Maintenance Minder warning comes up on Honda vehicles when the oil life reaches 15%.
You’ll need to change the motor oil for adequate engine lubrication, without which it’ll overheat and get damaged.
2. Rotate Tires to Make Them Last Longer
Rotating tires can protect them from uneven wear and extend their life. You’ll also have to check the tire pressure and tread depth to ensure they’re in top shape.
3. Replace the Air Filters to Let Your Engine and Yourself Breathe Freely
You’ll have to change the clogged air cleaner element (engine air filter) so that enough air enters the engine to avoid misfiring and low fuel economy.
Similarly, a clogged dust and pollen filter (cabin air filter) will restrict the airflow through the air conditioner vents. It can also result in an unpleasant odor inside the car.
4. Inspect the Drive Belt to Keep Your Honda Running Reliably
The drive belt (serpentine belt) on your Honda vehicle should be in perfect condition as the following are powered through it:
If the drive belt breaks, these components will also stop working.
5. Change the Transmission Fluid for Smoother Shifts
Transmission fluid contaminated with debris provides reduced lubrication and keeps your Honda’s transmission from shifting smoothly. You’ll also need to change the transfer case fluid if your car has an all-wheel drive capability.
