It may, and hen again it may not...
Depends on what the code for the ECU is. Check it out, and get back with us. If it has anything to do with the oiling system, or VTEC solenoids or related parts then no. But if its only say a bad o2 sensor, then you shouldnt have any problems.

Find out what kind of codes it's throwing. If it's throwing a oil problem or VTEC problem - it won't work. You said it's ODB-1 - then go here. Find the code or codes that it is throwing and then report that. If it's throwing a VTEC solenoid light, you won't have VTEC, but if it's an O2 sensor, it will.
Find out what code(s) it's throwing.

Depends on what is setting off the CEL.

Check the CEL code and let us know what it is.
