my gf's car just got hit with engine malfunction light. i'm guessing it's same as CEL? on my 99 accord, i can stick a paper clip on the obd2 scan port and see what code it's throwing (long/short blinks). anyone know how to get rsx-s to show the code it's throwing? diagrams of ecu malfunction code and "how to read obd2 code" would be might helpful. thanks.

 

found the answer. just in case any of you guys want to find the CEL without the obd2 tool:

bingo! the RSX and other newer Hondas/Acuras don't have the SCS jumper terminal under the dash like older models had... but the functionality is still there
