How-to Check OBD Codes in a US-spec '97 Civic EX?
Hey guys,
I am located in Alberta, Canada and have a 1997 Acura 1.6EL. It's mechanically identical to the US-market Civic EX and the Canadian-Market Civic Si.
I want to check the OBD codes, and I remember reading on ClubEL.ca that you could do the old paper-clip in the OBD diagnostic port - However they're recently redone their forum and as such I can no longer find the info on what plugs of the port I short out to get the CEL to flash any stored codes...
Can anyone help?

I've already read that sticky, and it doesn't mention how to do it on '97 vehicles, just 92-95...
