I have a prelude that is a full on racecar, and i don't mean a drag car that you drive home... i mean no windows, no dash, nothing. The wiring is there but there is no dash or cluster and I don't have access to one.

Is there a way to pull codes without the gauge cluster?

 

The guys below me seem to have solved your problem for you. Hope it all works out for you.
Goodluck with your issue.

 

Do you have any auto electrical experience?

not sure if this is Kosher, but you can probe the CEL wire in the harness with a multimeter.
looking for ~12vdc solid or down/up.(solid or blinking cel)

a light bulb could also be wired up using the same components as would be in the cluster, if you can find a diagram.

 

Blue white wire in pin a13 on obd1 ecu turns the check engine light on and off. I would wire a bulb up instead of using a multimeter. Easier to count the flashes.
