Default How to read a CEL

Can you jumper the ecu on a 06 pilot to check the code like you can on older hondas?

I don't believe an OBD2 ECU can be jumpered. Get yourself a cheap scanner.

On all OBD2 cars and trucks you need a scanner to pull the codes. Go to your local AutoZone or any parts store and they will scan it for you for free.

Everybody who owns a car with OBD-II should own one of these:

They are $20.
