your car's obd-0 so you can't scan...believe that's only on vehicles '95 and up.

will have to do as ^ indicated if your ecu doesn't show the flashing light

http://www.crxsi.com/reference/ecu_codes.htm
The ECU is located at the front of the passenger footwell, under the carpet. There is a single flashing light in the center of the ECU that flashes the codes. Simply count the flashes in each sequence to determine the code.

Code 0 _____ Faulty ECU
Code 1 _____ Oxygen content
Code 2 _____ Does not appear to exist
Code 3 _____ MAP sensor
Code 4 _____ Crank angle sensor
Code 5 _____ MAP sensor again
Code 6 _____ Coolant temperature
Code 7 _____ Throttle angle
Code 8 _____ Top dead center sensor
Code 9 _____ No. 1 cylinder position (only on 1.6L)
Code 10 ____ Intake air temperature
Code 11 ____ Does not appear to exist
Code 12 ____ Exhaust gas recirculation system
Code 13 ____ Atmosphric Pressure
Code 14 ____ Electronic air control (EACV)
Code 15 ____ Ignition output signal
Code 16 ____ Fuel injector
Code 17 ____ Vehicle speed sensor
Code 18 ____ Does not appear to exist
Code 19 ____ Lock up control solenoid (auto trans only)
Code 20 ____ Electric load

You don't even have to jump the connector just pull up the carpet turn the ignition to on, look at the red LED light and start counting the number of blinks.

Check codes list supplied by Blu Civic above.

Code 17 = Vehicle speed sensor.

Did it just start this problem when you replaced the cable?

If so, remove your cluster again and check the speed pulser.
It is the ring around where the cable plugs into the back of the cluster.
