there is a ton more info in the FAQ of that site as well regarding the codes.

 

excellent thank you very much

 

It's actually quite simple. On the right hand side of your car...under the dash on the inside and in front of the door there is a little black kick panel. This houses your ECU. You need to remove that then fish around just behind the underside of the dash for a tiny little two wire harness that is blue in color.

You will either need the proper jumper or use a paper clip to pull the codes. So if you use the jumper you plug it in to this blue harness and turn the ignition to the #2 setting then count the check engine light to pull the code(s)

Remember....little blue harness. Two wires. Brown w/ white stripe and 1 silver dot. Solid black with one silver dot.

There is a thread floating around here about resetting your SRS light...in that thread is the part number for the jumper harness.

 

ok so im trowing a code 22 which is vtec oil pressure switch defective or unplugged/ defective oil pressure switch


now when i was goin around the turn it felt like the car came out of vtec, and i know when the ecu doesnt see proper oil pressure it will shut of vtec if your in it, now im thinking since i was low on oil and i was hauling *** around the turn all the oil slooshed to one side and lost some oil pressure and the ecu thought the oil pressure switch was busted?? does that sound crazy or what?

thanks

 

that sounds about right. fill up on oil, reset the code, and yer good to go.

 

good stuff thanks alot again
