I got my head bit off the other day for suggesting that a newer car had that connector for use elsewhere in the world, but in the US your car is an OBD II type computer and will need a scan tool from a shop or a code reader from your local discount parts store, they should check it for free. Let us know what you find, it should be correct, Honda still uses their same computer language all these years.

You can jump pins 4 and 9 to get the code.
