Hi all,
I'm new to the forum and to hondas. Working on my buddy's 2001 EX (auto, 1.7 L I believe). I am at school and don't have my reader with me, he had a CEL. I don't have a repair manual, can I get it to flash codes or something with a test probe? If this has already been discussed and I didn't find it in my search, let me know that. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

this is the plug you need to jump. located on the pass side. jump it w/ a paper clip and your check engine light on your cluster will start blinking. pay attention and count the blinks.

1 long blink = 10
fast blink = 1

so for example, 1 long blink and 4 fast blink = code 14

 

Head down to your local AutoZone (most parts stores should also do it) and tell them you have a check engine light. They will pull the code for free.

 

it has always been my understanding that you cant "count the flashes" on an OBDII vehicle?

 

My 95 has OBD1. Autozone could not read it. I jumped the connector too.

 

Thats what i thought as well. But if you have OBDII its pretty easy to pull the codes with a code reader. With OBDI its a pain even if you have a OBDI codereader since every company has a different way of hooking up teh code reader.

 

on a '95, cant you count the flashes of the led on the ecu ??
