Is it the CEL or ABS?

In my 98 Integra Supplement, Code 21 is from the ABS :

Code 21-24
- Pulsar

This is right from my Helms manual (for a '94 Prelude) -

CODE 21 = Variable Valve Timing & Valve Lift Electronic Control Solenoid Valve.

You can check the solenoid by doing a continuity test. Probe the connector terminal and then take the other probe and touch a GOOD grounding point. If you get a reading of 14 - 30 ohms, you have a good VTEC solenoid valve. If you get a number below 14 or higher than 30, you have a BAD valve - replace it.
