If i'm not mistaken the jumper is on the passenger side. If your sitting in the passenger seat it should be on the right hand side by the glove box. Look up underneath and it should there. Two pin female connector.
Hope that helps.

The "data link" connector is located on the driver's side near the fusebox. The pin jumper for making the CEL blink out codes is located on the passenger side near the ECU.

The thing on the passenger side kick-panel is the service connector - the two pin one. The actual data link (where you'd plug a code scanner into) is under the dash on the driver's side.

EDIT: Whoooops

I meant driver's side.

There isn't a whole lot under the dash on the passenger side.

Blower motor.

Thats only for obd2 cars that the data link is on the driver side. On obd1 its on the passenger side, next to the ecu jumper. Its the 3P plug, same location as the 2P plug.

You sure about that? My '94 probe had a data link under the dash to scan for codes on the driver's side...and I think that was OBD-I...

EDIT:
Yeah, I just searched, OBD-II wasn't used in probes until '96 (I don't think it was used anywhere until '96).

My probe was OBD-I. It was able to be scanned by plugging a code scanner into a port under the driverside dashboard. I had it checked when it threw a CEL.

some obd1 vehicles have data link connecters for generic functions, not all cars have them in obd1 so don't be confused if you can't find them...96+ vehicles all have obd2 data link connecters.

bottom line if you're scanning for codes find the 2 wire green plug on the right side under the glove box on the passenger side and jump it with a wire or paper clip, turn the key to the on position and count the blinks of the CEL
1 long blink would be code 10
1 short blink would be code 1
1 long blink followed 1 short blink would be code 11 and so on and so forth
watch the codes several times until you get the same code atleast twice to make sure you aren't missing any.

EDIT: the plug itself is gray, the plug protecter it's in is the green part, my fault.

3P is for the scanner, the 2P is for you if you want to jump the ecu and check the code yourself with the CEL count.

This is for Honda's only, other car manufacturers might have there data link in other places and use different type of plugs. Thats why when you buy those big scan tools you get a bunch of different plugs for obd1. For obd2 its basically a generic plug.

OO, I gotcha, always wondered what the 3p is for. Yeah, I knew about the multiple plugs for OBD-I - That makes sense, gotcha, thanks.

Thx for the explanation, just note that sometimes that green plug protector isn't always there, and sometimes you gotta fish around for the plug as it's not always "right there" if you haven't pulled it out before.

Bolded part: Yeah, , that's what I do, check it a few times to make sure, if the connection breaks for like 1/5 of a second, the sequence gets a little screwy, so watch it a few times.
