96 Civic - Check Engine Light
Hey all - first post here. Yesterday the check engine light lit on my car. I had been messing around with the car - I changed the coolant the day before and replaced the battery two days previous. I tried disconnecting the battery to reset the OBC, but the message immediately came back. I can't think of anything I disturbed or damaged during maintenance to cause the "check engine" message; it could be simply coincidence. Has anyone experienced this problem before after doing battery or coolant maintenance?
If it is simply a coincidence, can someone tell me which are the likely suspects causing the message, ie, O2 sensor, etc?
Thanks in advance for the advice.

Short out the blue connector in the passenger kick panel to retrieve the code. How long did you disconnect the battery for???

Re: 96 Civic - Check Engine Light (97hb)
Thanks for the reply - I disconnected the battery for over 2 hours. Where can I find a fault table or decoder for the ECU download? Oh, and which pins should I jump on the connector. Appreciate the help....
