Default my CEL doesn't work

1996 hatch with 1.5L SOHC VTEC D15Z1 Engine (converted to OBD-1 with a harness)

cluster has been swapped for a 99 ex cluster (for a tach )

1. i already swapped bulbs and that didn't help
2. swapped ecu's with a p28 and that didn't help
3. i tried jumping the CEL connector thinking it would make the light come one, but nothing.

I do have 2 large dead-end plugs in the engine bay. one blue and one grey. (right now they are loose under my intake manifold. I imagined these were left overs from the obd1 conversion. (i didn't do the conversion it was in the car when I bought it)

i want to make sure I have this working before I swap my z6 into the car. any thoughts?


Thank you.

perhaps someone knows what obd1 ecu pins operate the CEL?

perhaps I could check the continuity through my harness on pin A13 or D4?

I'll also check to see that they are going to their respective pins on the obd2a car harness

well finally figured it out. I was missing a pin in the actual harness itself.

a13 on the obd1 side had nothing. so I added a pin and ran it to a18 on the obd2 side.

bingo. it works, not I just have to fix my code 41. (which is prob bc I have a 4 wire 02 on a VX ecu)
