Default RE: Quick question on OBD

On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) is explained here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On-Board_Diagnostics

OBD is a self diagnostic system that facilitates troubleshooting of certain engine and electrical system problems.

I believe that 1996-current Civics are equipped with the more modern OBDII system, whereas 1995 Civic models and earlier (1988?) have the less sophisticated OBDI system.
