i have a 97 civic w jdm b16. check engine light has been on for a year but whenever i've had a scan tool hooked up it says "cannot connect to blah blah" and doesn't recognize the vehicle. we had to use the obd1-0bd2 conversion harness with the pr3 ecu....now how the hell can i get the codes out of this bitch???

It's a 97 civic and you want to check the codes with a PR3 ? Good luck with that the check engine light on the obd2 can only be checked with a scan tool check your fuses there is a pin that transfers the date to the diagnostics equipment.

actually there is a check connector 2pin blue or geen on pssenger side above ecu on that harness, use a paper clip to jump them, turn key on and you will get flash codes. you would need a obd2 ecu in the car to read with a scan tool set up for the obd2 type connector on vehicle.

You could try to short out the service check connector under the dash on the passenger side. If the OBDII-OBDI conversion was properly made, it should cause the check engine light to flash the code on an OBDI PR3.
