back to the top.. need some help from someone.. she wants me to look at the car agian tomorrow after work

 

does no one get CEL on there accords???

 

'97 is OBD-II, so you won't be able to pull the OBD-II codes without a scan tool, which will run you about $150 or so. However you can pull the basic 2 digit codes using a jumper wire. Pull the ashtray out and you'll see the 16 pin connector in there, and there will also be a 2 wire connector attached to it. Pull that 2 wire connector out, jump the 2 wires with a jumper, and turn the key to 'on'. If there's any basic codes the CEL will flash out the code(s). If you get nothing, then you'll either have to buy a scan tool or take it to someone

where is this 2 wire connector?? i was working a 97 accord today at work and i did NOT see behind the ashtray! did i miss it or something, is it stuck back under there?? i did see the obd2 connector but no 2 pin harness to short out like on my civic thanks

 

Don't if that's what you're talking about but I think it could help

Deciphering the code requires reading the light sequences. When the car is in the ON position, the check engine light emits two different flashes; a long extended flash means 10, and a rapid flash means 1. So, one long flash, another long flash, followed by 3 quick flash stands for...................23! Equipped with that information, here are the codes for the '92-'00 Honda and '94-'00 Acura.

0 ECU
1 Oxygen Content
3 Map Sensor
4 Crank Angle Sensor
5 Map Sensor
6 Coolent Temperature
7 Throttle Angle
8 TDC Position

Maybe this picture will help some.... (I know it's blurry as f**k, but you can kinda make out the pictures)



I can't speak from personal experience, but it looks as if this little connector is actually part of what makes up the 16 pin OBD-II connector, along with another plug. You have to actually take the diagnostic plug out and unplug this from the back of that plug.

 

anyone else know what plugs need to shorted out to get the darn codes?? i know what the codes are they are the same a civic but i dont know who to find out what codes they are.. ive worked on and swapped several motors into civics and integras and never had a problem geting the CEL to flash!! HELP
