These utilize a jumper connector(scs) in order to retrieve codes. It's location is just a little different for different models of hondas and acuras but generally speaking there relative to one location.On your car if you go to passenger front seat area and find the lower rt hand kick panel(to rt of your foot if sitting in seat)reach your hand just to the top edge of the panel you'll find a small blue 2pin connector.sometimes its got a small piece of tape holding it loosely to a wire cluster ,just pull it free of tape. With ignition key in off position,jump terminals together at connector with jumper wire,paper clip works fine.With jumper installed turn ignition switch into on position,not start just in run position.Observe check engine light.If DTC is stored check engine light will flash in series of pulses which are numbers of DTC. One long pulse is equal to ten, short pulses equal to one,example would be one long pulse pause followed by 2 quick flashes.this would be code 12 (EGR Problem). It will repeat this set of flashes 3 times,with long long pause between each.if multiple dtc are stored each DTC will be shown once,one rt after other,than will repeat series set over again for three series repeats then light will stop flashing.
NOTE:As i was saying about scs location,it is always found on Hondas/Acuras on passenger side seat area.it will be in one of following spots. 1.at back top edge of carpet where it meets up to dash area,to back edge of (ft side)center console piece(by left foot),behind rt kick panel as above or where lower hinge side if glove box meets dash,resting in that seam.always blue or grey 2 pin connector not connected to anything.Good Luck!joel

SOURCE: CHECK ENGINE LIGHT

you have a sensor on your transmission that tells that speedometer to work and well of course you already know the millage wont work because that speedometer sensor isnt working correctly, as far as the engine light i wouldnt think that that is linked to the speadometer, but have it checked. goodluck

Can a 1991 Honda Accord be converted to have OBDII system for emissions

Not sure what dynamometers have to do with this, as they are not necessary for emissions diagnostics or testing, but rather are used for performance tuning. However, sure you can change your 1991 to OBDII. Simply replace the engine, wiring and computer to a 1998 or later system.

Have a 91 honda accord. experiencing dramtic hesitation when accelerating but check engine light comes on and problem dissapears. Once you stop for a short period of time check engine light goes off and...

Sounds like your O2 sensor is malfunctioning. When the check engine light comes on, the computer goes into a preset mode bypassing the O2 sensor and that's why it suddenly runs good. Have the O2 sensor checked. You can also have the trouble codes read and they should point you in the same direction.

1991 honda accord - runs rough and stalls on start up.

Did you set the ignition timing after you installed the dist.? If yes, I'd say you got a bad distributor(the one you just put in) since all the codes you're getting are directly for sensors located within the distributor.

Brake Lights out on 1991 Honda Accord

After you have checked the fuseand the bulb connection, you may also want to check the brake switch located at top of the brake padel under the dashboard. Once you push the brake padel, the switch will trigger and the brake light will be on. Use simple 12 volt test pen or voltmeter to test the current supply. Enjoy it.
