2002 Honda CR-V Problems
Groaning Noise on Turns Due to Differential Fluid Breakdown
A groaning noise from the rear differential heard while going through turns can be caused by differential fluid break down. Servicing the rear differential will generally correct this concern.
Vibration When Braking Due to Rotor Problem
The front brake rotors can warp and cause a vibration when braking. The rotors will need to be machined or in cases where they are worn to thin, replaced to correct this issue.
Door Lock May be Not Turn Due to Worn Tumblers
Worn door lock tumblers can cause the door lock to be sticky or not work at all. The lock has to be removed and the tumblers need to be replaced for this issue.
Tailgate Light on Dash May Filcker
A maladjusted tailgate or tailgate switch can cause the rear tailgate light on the dash to flicker when driving. Adjusting the door and or switch will address this concern.
Incorrect oil in rear differential may cause chattering/vibration on turns
Check Engine Light on Due to Faulty Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor
On certain models a faulty fuel tank pressure sensor (FTP) can cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate. The FTP sensor will generally require replacement to repair this condition.
Engine Valves May Fail Prematurely and Cause Engine Problems
The engine valves can prematurely fail. The cylinder head will need to be replaced due to wear in the area where the valves seal. Intake or exhaust valve failure may illuminate the Check Engine Light. The car may have poor engine performance and fail emission tests.
Water leak from cowl area
Check Engine Light on Due to Binding Fuel Cap
A binding fuel filler cap can cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate. Our technicians tell us this can be caused by a problem with the fuel filler neck which may require replacement.

Check engine light due to defective throttle body
Check Engine Light due to sticking variable valve timing valve
Check Engine Light Due to False Air Fuel Sensor Fault
Certain models can misinterpret air fuel sensor data and cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate. A software update from Honda will fix this issue.

On certain models with rear disc brakes, a grinding noise can be caused by corrosion between the rear brake caliper bracket and the brake pad retainers. Cleaning and lubricating the caliper bracket and pad retainers should correct this concern.
Growl Type Noise From Front of Engine
