Low Fuel Panel Indicator On

The issue sounds like vapor lock, The temperature in the engine compartment is so high that the gasoline is turning to vapor in the gas line. There are not many options available in your situation except to travel at night when the temperature is lower. The problem is compounded by gasoline that has ethanol in it. A fuel pump that has low pressure can contribute to it and some people are able to control the return line pressure to help this.

Check engine light comes on with faulty oxygen sensor, loose gas cap or faulty gas cap. sometimes with low octane fuel as well. fill up with high octane fuel, tighten down the cap and see if it helps.

Make sure you tighten your gas cap when refueling, until it clicks a minimum of 3 - 5 times. If this does not turn off the light, have it cleared at an auto center, & replace the defective fuel cap. They use an intricate system to equalize air pressure in the tank, to allow gas flow, wthout allowing evaporation of the gas. (Green Friendly) & EPA rules. Thew system is pressurized, If cap defective,, it will set the code.

Does the indicator look like an engine? If it does you should get the code checked at a local auto parts store or local mechanics shop. Did you recently put gas in the car? If you put gas in the car and dont tighten the fuel cap all the way you can get a check engine light. It will throw an evaporative emisiions code.

It is a EVAP system leak
Detect pump sens CKT
Intermittant

First thing to try is to replace the gas cap.
Then the evap canister solenoid or the hose that goes to it.

COULD BE LOW FUEL PRESSURE CAUSED BY FAULTY WEAK FUEL PUMP.OR FUEL FILTER STOPPED UP.LEAKING EGR VALVE WILL CAUSE ENGINE IDLE ROUGH.

Hope this helps.

The manual for your Accord indicates the following:
This indicator comes on for a few seconds when you turn the ignition switch ON (II). If it comes on at any other time, it indicates one of the engine's emissions control systems may have a problem. Even though you may feel no difference in your vehicle's performance, it can reduce your fuel economy and cause your vehicle to put out excessive emissions. Continued operation may cause serious damage.
If you have recently refueled your vehicle, the cause of this indicator coming on could be a loose or missing fuel fill cap. Check the cap and tighten it until it clicks. Replace the fuel fill cap if it is missing. Tightening the cap will not make the indicator turn off immediately; it takes three driving trips.
If the indicator remains on past three driving trips, or the fuel cap was not loose or missing, have the vehicle checked by the dealer as soon as possible. Drive moderately until the dealer has inspected the problem. Avoid full-throttle acceleration and driving at high speed.
Hope this helps you find the problem.

You may have one of the following.

A loose gas cap - remove cap and re-tighten again to see if light goes out (may take a while before light goes out)

A faulty gas cap - replace with a new one (shouldn't have failed yet if your car's only a year old)

A faulty fuel sensor only if your fuel level also shows as low (shouldn't have failed yet if your car's only a year old)

There's a vacuum leak somewhere (this would also trigger a check engine light)

Hi. this situation concerns a lose gas cap that you may have forgotten to tighten correctly during a recent fill up at your local gas station or, it could be that the original gas cap or replacement gas cap is not sealing the cap area correctly, preventing proper fuel pressure.

Check the gas cap to see if its tight and that it clicks when you turn it. make sure you turn until it clicks. this will ensure a secure fit.

Now, if you have just recently bought a new replacement cap, it may be the wrong fit and i would recommend purchasing the original replica form the dealership to ensure a tight fit.

Please rate and god bless:)
