Re: obd1 scanning adapter
OBD1 requires the proprietary Honda Interface Module (HIM) as well as a subscription to the software.
This site has all the details for the various diagnostic tools and softwares required for the old Honda's.

For the price, a light bulb wired to the correct pins of the ECU and the paper clip in the service connector is a much more economical solution.

Re: obd1 scanning adapter
I don't think that is what i was looking for. I just want to install the OBD1 adapter port where any scanner can read from. The port connects to the ecu at "Diagnostic Data Link" TXD/RXD.

Re: obd1 scanning adapter
OBD1 is proprietary like I said and requires a HIM.
The scanners you are talking about are ALL OBD2. That is when some basic standardization came into play with the plug type and communication requirements. Even then there are 5 different protocols (if I recall correctly) a scanner must know for OBD2.
OBD1 is very manufacturer specific for both the plug and the software, with zero standardization.
Google OBD and you may find some valuable information detailing what I have summarized here.
Then Google how to wire CEL bulb to Honda OBD1 ECU.
Good luck.

Re: obd1 scanning adapter
Ah ok, thanks for the info. I will google more on it. I'm planning to get a chipped p28 ecu and do tuning using crome. Any advice?

Re: obd1 scanning adapter
I think if I just know how (wire colors, pin number, etc.) the obd1 service connector is connected to the ecu then I'll get the harness and wire it myself. should solve it, right?

Re: obd1 scanning adapter
All you need to look up is the pins on the P28 ecu for the CEL/MIL bulb and then the two pins for the service connector.
I have never seen a HIM device so I am not sure just how many pins and plugs it uses. I do know that my vehicle (a CDM 95 civic) has a 3 pin plug and a 2 pin plug and it's the 2 pin we short with a paper clip to get the CEL blink codes.
It's possible the HIM uses both the 3 pin and 2 pin plug or maybe just the 3 pin plug. That's really an unknown as Honda OBD1 isn't normally "scannable" without shelling out a serious amount of cash to Honda and the Diagnostic company.

Re: obd1 scanning adapter
HIM is way too much money and I can't buy it any way... Only thing to do is install CEL and probably obd1 sevice connector to loop it with a wire and get codes. I'll google to find how to do it. If anyone knows already then please provide the guide.
