Hey guys,

I am located in Alberta, Canada and have a 1997 Acura 1.6EL. It's mechanically identical to the US-market Civic EX and the Canadian-Market Civic Si.

I want to check the OBD codes, and I remember reading on ClubEL.ca that you could do the old paper-clip in the OBD diagnostic port - However they're recently redone their forum and as such I can no longer find the info on what plugs of the port I short out to get the CEL to flash any stored codes...

Can anyone help?

 

if u were to look and pay a lil more attention.. there is sticky thread above this.. and its all about ecu codes...

 

I've already read that sticky, and it doesn't mention how to do it on '97 vehicles, just 92-95...

 

try looking under the dash under nieth the passenger side...look way in there...i was looknig for my cousins in his GSR and it way up in there..it was plugged in some rubber yellow thing
