Good Morning everyone! I hope you all are being safe this wknd...

Anyways back to the topic, my wifey & I have been lucky to add a 96 ex Vtec to our collection of cars... but the check engine light is on!! can someone give me some info. on where & how to get that code out the ECU???

P>S IT WAS FREE-99....I'll post picks once I clean the engine bay!

 

Buy a code reader.

 

Under your glove box there is a blue 2 pin connector, run a wire from one side to the other and turn your key to on position and pay attention to your cel light, it will blink. Long blink equals ten, and short blink equals one. Exampl- long, long, short,short, Would be code 22. Keep posting

 

wow the first thread in this forum

Or if you go to some parts stores they can check it for you.

 

I was unaware you could do the paper clip trick on an OBD2 motor

I didn't know you could get your CEL light to flash P0010 and all those codes for OBD2 motors.

Same location as your Si. It's probably buried in the dash.

You only get those codes with a reader. with the paperclip you just CEL flashes.

 

LOL.....Being this new car to us, I had just found the alarm remote to the silent alarm...hehe, but the funny parts is that while lookin' for the plug, on the drivers side?? The car keys had fell out my pocket....w/out me knowing. I come inside to let you guys know I found the plug, HOOORAY. So excited I return outside w/ the remote in hand to unlock the doors and get to work. Everythings hooked up time to turn the ignition on **oopsie** I forgot the keys in the house, so I dash inside w/ my one leg, leaving the remote behind. I close the door w/ the alarm remote in the car (seperate from key chain no clip) un-beknown to me the car has automatic locks...humm can't find the keys????? so I frantically begin my search for the keys??? It begins to arise the misses curiousity! so then wifey comes to take a look and notices all our keys are locked in the car...LMFAO:confused: I called AAA and they told me 'they'll send some one out within the hour"....(wipe sweat off forehead)

 

It flashed either an 11/20?? what does that mean where can I get some info. on those codes???
