Honda B14 Service

How Do You Fix a Honda B14 Service Code?

1. Get an Oil and Filter Change

Engine oil ensures engine parts run smoothly. Your oil filter catches and prevents dirt from entering the system. However, the filter can get clogged and lose its intended use, and your oil will expire, regardless.

2. Rotate the Tires

Your front and back tires experience different friction leading to uneven wear. Swapping the position of your Honda’s tires can help extend tread life beyond its intended use. 

3. Replace the Timing Belt

The timing belt is responsible for precise valve timing. If the timing belt breaks, pistons and valves collide, ceasing engine performance (and adding an expensive bill for repairs). 

4. Change the Spark Plugs

Spark plugs ignite the fuel in your engine, causing it to roar to life. Having bad spark plugs can cause poor engine performance or misfires. 

5. Inspect the Water Pump

Your Honda’s water pump ensures constant coolant flow through the engine and its parts. It directs coolant from the reservoir to the radiator and back. A faulty pump can cause engine overheating.

6. Check the Valve Clearance

The clearance needs to be at a specific distance from the camshaft. Over time, the distance could increase or get blocked by debris. A valve adjustment will reset the clearance distance and clean off any dirt.
