Before i start, i just wanted to say that yes, i did search this but couldn't find the answer i was looking for.

my CEL light came on yesterday, no flashing. it just stayed on. i drove the car home and looked under the hood. everything seemed copasetic, again that was yesterday.

today i drove about 5 miles and the light came on again, no flashing as before..just steady illumination.

i turned the car off and the light disappeared, it later came on again. so i just parked it, i dont wanna expletive anything up beyond the "i-can-see" view.

now, this has happened before with other lights, such as my srs, and my rear brake light (as in after i put in the bulb it lit up on the cluster) and those lights eventually stopped lighting up.

but i can't ignore a CEL, that's just a retard move. so how do you get the codes, or should i just go to the dealership (i work at mazda and the owner of the stores also owns a honda dealership) and diagnostic = free.

insight please, and thank you.

 

What year car is it?

 

yea that i forgot, is a 94 LX 5spd

 

Here you go https://honda-tech.com/zerothread/1901557 or you could go to dealership

 

by you referring me to that thread i guess the routine is the same for the majority of hondas?

You can use a bent paperclip to jumper that plug.

Beginning in '96 they're all OBD-2, so if you had a newer car you could simply use an OBD-2 scanner at your Mazda shop.

 

CEL went off, but i'm still gonna do the tests.
