Well, I haven't got the CEL sorted out from the previous thread, but now I have a new issue with it. I had my dash just lit up like a christmas tree while driving to work this morning. I had the Brake, SRS, ABS, and Battery lights all going off at once. Now the first thing that came to mind was that the alternator was bad since that was a common sign of a failing alternator (ie you get a dashboard X-mas light show). So I drove it to work with the expectation it may die along the way. It didn't, nor did it die on the way home (which I found funny since usually if the voltage is low enough to do the dashboard light show, you don't have long before the car dies completely because the battery runs out of juice). So first thing I did when I got home was to throw a DMM on the battery terminals with the engine at idle. Well, low and behold my issue wasn't a low voltage problem, it was an over voltage problem. The DMM showed about 16.13 volts at idle and would go to 16.67 volts if you increased the engine speed (normally it should NEVER be higher than 15.00 volts under any circumstances). So from what I can make out, the regulator is cooked and needs to be replaced. I have to make a few calls before I figure out which route to go, but I'm going to call and see which is cheaper: new regulator or a used alternator from the boneyard.
Here's another post I found outlining essentially the exact same problem: http://www.civicforums.com/forums/36...ght-issue.html .....but of course no follow up saying what actually fixed it.
If anyone else had a similar issue with their Civic, post up.
