Edit: My wife has a 2008 Honda Accord ex v6 and she has a lot of lights on her dashboard. I went by oreillys and found three codes. Last December I replaced the alternator and two days ago I got her a new car battery.

1. 61-1 battery voltage malfunction
2. 66-1 brake pressure sensor malfunction
3. P3497 cylinder deactivation system bank2

My son’s birthday is coming up and I need to get an idea of how much each repair will cost me. If anybody can help me out of an estimate of each cost I would really appreciate it. Inbeforetreefiddy

I drive a 2009 accord.

Your alternator is prolly going. Good mechanic not on the take will put you in around $200 on that.

Misfiring cylinder is only gonna set you back a plug and a coil. Parts on the misfire will be $60 and it will only take a good mechanic 15 minutes.

Hope that helps.

It’s likely that a bad battery/alternator is causing those codes. If they don’t clear after a battery replacement and reset, time to get a mechanic. The cylinder deactivation code could suck a lot depending on what the mis is for.

I agree with 756...these all sound like unrelated issues, but in today's cars, an electrical issue can manifest itself in some damn strange ways. I would bring it to autozone or somewhere like that and get them to check the battery and the alternator...they'll do that for free. Once you get the results, you can start to zero in on what the repair costs will be.

well, get them to test those two items again... I would say there is a 90% chance that one of them is the source of your electrical issues and I have had both new batteries and new alternators malfunction just after installation.

1) Ignore the lights like most people

2) Is it possible that one of the fuse boxes got wet?

If you google each of those codes you will find a bunch of info. Troubleshooting,repairs all kinds of good stuff. I just searched the P3497 code and there was a bunch of stuff. Too deep for me at this hour.
