I can't remember if you can do that on OBDII hondas, but you can go to Autozone and have them pull the codes for free.

So, the 96-00 is the same as the 92-95 civic's? Above describes the Eg perfectly....

My parents 98 LX CEL is on. Got to check it out in a few.

I have no need to search on how to pull the codes. I have a Snap-On scan tool.
