I looked on the FAQ and I know of the diagnostics connection behind the ash tray. However I've been told (incorrectly I suspect) that's not the one I need to find a CEL code. Is there another connection somewhere I don't know about or is that the one I use the scan tool on to get the code? Thank you in advance.

 

At the intersection of the dash panel and the right side kick panel.

Thanks for the quick reply. So letter C then on your image?

 

It would be closer to A

 

thanks!

 

It's a little confusing....
For the two contact quick diagnostic plug:
over by the right side door end of the dash.
A on the Acura diagram
B on the Honda diagram

So is the cord I'm looking for being held in place in a light blue clip right under the corner of the dash/glovebox? If thats not it there is nothing over in that area that could be it. Thanks again.

 

It's that blue connector there.

Take it out of the plug and then stick a paper clip in it.

 

OK, I feel like a moron here. Why would I stick a paperclip in it? Isn't this the cord I attach the scan tool too to get my code?

I'm headed over to autozone tomorrow morning to get the reading for my CEL.

Sorry for the noob questions. Thanks again.

 

There are two connectors.

The Multipack Connector to which a Scan Tool would be attached is behind the Ashtray on your car.

The Blue Connector to which you're being directed to is a diagnostic port which when jumped between the two connections will allow the ECM to flash a code thru the "Check Engine" lamp
