it's in the drivers side kick panel. (if you are in north america)

You mean you didn't see it.

Click the codes link in my signature.

 

 

I hate PhotoBucket. They've taken my images hostage.

 

I think he's looking for the DLC connector

 

Haha...I think you're right.

 

Are there any more versions of the same picture?

Just looking at your hosting site I'm guessing you're not in the US? If so I don't believe many or any Civics came with the DLC connector only the US and Canada?

 

I believe you're right, so I got lucky because the OP may actually benefit from the diagram showing the location of the service connector.

 

Im not in US. how can i know if my car is from Canada or US?

 

Your VIN (and also engine) would likely tell you where your car was made. But if you don't have the DLC connector near the hood release handle, then you must pull CEL and other codes by jumping the service connector.

 

ok i have the number. how i can check?

 

The diagram shows how the Honda VIN works in the U.S. and Canada. If yours is similar, then you'd be interested in the factory code.

 

my car is from japan asia

 

I think he wants to use the ELM327 which is only compatible with OBD2 DLC connected models, sorry OP

 

Like i said, OBD2 connectors are for north american cars. (your location wasn't there at the time of the original post)

 

You right! i bought the ELM 327! thats not good? what i need to buy? thanks.

 

You can not make it work easily.

 

i need to buy another obd?

 

What exactly are you trying to do see live data? You're gonna have to use convert to OBD1 and use a program that connects to your lap top. I'm not sure if an AEM unit will work on Asia market ECUs
