A mechanic once showed me how to lift the passenger floor panel to read codes using the big red blinking light. I don't remember the steps that lead up to getting it to display. I vaguely remember him pulling some fuses. Was that just to clear the code when we were done?

Could someone please refresh my memory on what steps I need to take? I am a car noob with some understanding, and have passed my accord onto my little sister so I'd like to remember what check engine code I had a few years ago.

It's easier to just short your computer and read the codes on the dash. Your passanger kidk panel there will be a blue connector, use a paper clip ir a small piece of wire to short your computer. Then look at your blinking CEL and count, for example CEL 15 code would be 1 long blink and 5 short blinks.

Still hoping to figure out if there are other steps for the light under the floor.

There is but it's honestly much harder then just shouting your diag connector

Could shorting the computer be better explained to me then? Because that sounds complicated...

Its not hard, be hind the passanger kick panel there is a wire with a blue connector, use a paper clip or small wire to make the connection then turn your key on and you should get the codes

Got it.
