My Fit threw a CEL last night and I would like to check it. I could go to an autoparts store and have it checked, but I would rather just check it for myself. So, does anyone know where to find the plug?

I am about to go look for it, but in case I dont find it, I would like for someone to post up the info.

 

its under the dash, like every other obdII plug.

 

I'm assuming you're looking for the jumper like an OBD1 car where you can jump the wires and read the code, I believe you'll need a scanner to read the codes.

 

i am not talking about the big plug under the driverside dash where you would plug in the obd2 scanner.

i am talking about the small jumper plug that you would put a paper clip into to make the check engine light flash you the MIL. it is usually by the ecu, but i checked there and didnt see it.

on civics it is usually on the far passenger side, on my prelude it is on the drivers side right under the center console area. i checked under the dash on both sides, and popped out the glove box to access the ecu. i couldnt find anything other than the big obd2 scanner plug that you are talking about.

 

my 00 Civic Si had it on the passenger side in the same place my 92 Civic had it. i havent checked my s2000 yet to see if it has one, but i would assume that hondas still come with them.

 

This type of jumper hasn't been available since 1996 when SAE required ODB2. You now need to have a scanner.

 

yah, plus you can get one for cheap these days. like $70.

 

A basic reader with reset can be had new for under $30 now days.

 

well, free is free.

i just recet the code and will wait to see if it comes back on. so far it hasnt and I put about 400 miles on the car this weekend.

 

harbor freight?

 

wat was the code for?

 

Not true. There was one on my 2000 Si under the dashboard on the passengers side.

 

same here.

 

i didn't have time to check it. i was on my way out of town when i made the post. so, i just disconnected the battery and reset the code. it hasn't come back on yet. if it does, i'll check it properly.

 

not true, i can do it on my 96 lude and my friend does that on his 98 lude

 

I haven't tried it yet (my car hasn't had any codes). Here is a thread on the subject, though.

nice find!

i just use my OBD2 scanner, but this is a nice ref to have... hard to keep track of the count though if
code 92. lol

 

not really. you will have 9 long flashes, then 2 short flashes. i have to do it pretty regularly with my race car. it seems like there is always a small code for something jiggling loose around the track.
