Default cel, overheat, at standstill

so i finally drove my car for the first time yesterday and it was amazing, didnt beat it just drove it. today i had it out again and since people in dc can't drive i was stuck on 4lane wide 495 today at a standstill. after about 20 minutes my check engine light came on. evrything looked normal even the temp. five minutes later i was overheating, bad. i turned on the air full blast, got off the road and drove about a half mile on the shoulder to the nearest exit. the car cooled down and check engine light went off. what do you guys think??? radiator, water pump??? idk, new to hondas...

Check what code the cell like threw... Stick a paperclip into the brown plug that is on the right side of the dash almost abovethe ecu.

Check your fluids, grounds near the thermostat... Any leaks?
