“My 2010 honda accord crosstour was low in oil but the engine oil light never came on to warn me. However the engine light did come on. I had oil and took it to dealer for an oil change which was not due. The dealer did not want to reset the engine light. The engine light error code p3497. Several honda car owners have complained about the p3497 error code staying on. This is costing consumers a lot of money to have a diagnostic on the error code and repairs. This should be a recall. Frustrated honda owner.”Owner report · Unknown Or Other · Nov 2019
