Discussion about this Video: www.ericthecarg...
I feel like I should have made this video a while ago but the opportunity never came up. Since I had this RL in my shop that had a check engine light AND an ABS light I thought it was a perfect opportunity to put this video together. I get asked all the time about my 'special tool' and it's really nothing more than a Honda 2 pin connector with the input wires soldered together. These connectors might be harder to find than you think but if you run across a junk honda and one of these is on the harness grab it. Even if you don't have the tool a paper clip or piece of wire will do the exact same thing so don't sweat it if you don't have the tool because shorting the connector is all you need to do.
I hope you find this video helpful.
Stay dirty

If you're at the junkyard an need a connector for this, pull the door card off a '90s-'00s Civic (and probably any Honda) or find one that someone has already torn apart. Right there affixed to the door will be the same connector, except it's colored gray, held in by a clip. Disconnect it from the harness, cut the wires a little long, and loop them. Or, for an extra clean look, de-pin one wire and insert the other's tail in its place. Now you have an OBD I Honda tool. You can test-fit the connection there at the junkyard and see that it'll snap right in to the service port. The part number for the Connector from Honda is 07PAZ-001010A. It's called SCS Service Connector.

Thanks Eric, I was able to find that connector and after jumping it I got a code 8 which was caused by the shift control solenoids being bad, it was easy to replace. You saved me lots dollars I am sure since transmissions shops are not cheap and I am sure they would say that I needed a transmission overhaul.

Thanks Ericthecarguy! I was looking for the blue clip to set my timing on my 2000 Honda CR-V and had ripped off the kick panel next to the blower motor on the right and didn't see any blue clips dangling like I've seen in another video of yours on setting the timing. I started to think the blue clip should be near where I plug in my ODB reader tool and noticed a blue clip there inserted into a blue holding slot and pulled it out of the like you did in this video. Mine was in the passenger side towards the center console. You're video tutorial confirmed I had the right blue clip! Thanks for this video!

Removing both negative and positive terminal and touch them together, it'll drain any left over current. DO NOT connect them while they are still connected to the battery. Touch them together separate from the battery.

For New Zealand there's a big difference. The plug for bridging is a 2 pin plug similar to the one shown BUT first of all it's on the left side (passenger side for RH drive) and it's grey, not blue ! You will find it tucked behind the small plastic kick panel that's on the left side of your left foot if you're a seated passenger. You should be able to put your finger over the top of that panel and flick the wires out without having to take the panel off. From this point on, do exactly as the man in the video says.

Just done a UK 99 Honda CR-V with this method. The R/H/D UK cars blue plug is on the passenger side (left) footwell near the centre console. It has 2 plugs plugged into a blue plastic holder - one is the 2 pin plug and the other is a 3 pin plug. I used the 2 pin plug for SRS and ABS codes, and it worked fine (SRS codes wont cycle, it flashes each code once then stops. Turn ign off and on, it will start again) There is also an SRS reset plug in the fuse box (yellow square plug with 2 green wires)

from memory, its called the SCS connector. I have a Honda s2000 and the Australian versions don't come with obd2 but the US versions do. you can definitely use a paper clip but because it's thinner it's better to back probe the SCS connector.

Hey, what kind of diagnostic software would you recommend for a small shop or DIY? Besides the OBD2 port scanner. I'm talking more about scopes and/or dealership worthy tools. Lately I've seen quite a few "cheap" tools coming out but I haven't bought any yet because I don't want to spend a whole bunch of money on something that may end up being a paper weight. Also, most are only good for one make which doesn't help when I'm working on anything from Honda's to Porsche's. Thanks.

Thanks for the video (10 years later). What do you do, though, if a car doesn't store any codes but has issues that should cause codes to be stored? I have a 1999 Honda Accord LX, with a 2.3 liter, F23A1, 4 cylinder engine, Automatic Transmission that sat with the battery removed all winter and through our Southeastern "rainy season" because I didn't have a garage or carport to get the car out of the weather to work on it. When I parked it, it was cranking and running just fine, but the head gasket had blown between the #2 cylinder and the water jacket between the #2 & #3 cylinders, causing it to overheat. I finally got good weather long enough to change the head gasket, intake & exhaust manifolds, valve cover gasket and seals, etc. After doing the repair and making sure that the cam and balance shaft timing were correct, that all the electric connectors and sensors were connected, and all the bolts torqued to specs, I installed the freshly charged battery and cranked the engine. When I cranked the engine, of course it was a longer crank time than normal, because after months of sitting idle with no battery, the fuel pressure had dropped, and it took a little extra to get fuel to the fuel rail and injectors. When the engine started, though, it barely ran at first (just fast enough to keep the crank and cam turning), then as the engine RPMs increased, it went from normal idle speed to surging, high-then-low for a few minutes before settling into a normal idle with good acceleration when I pressed the accelerator pedal. After the idle settled down, I turned off the engine, waited a few seconds, and started it again. This time, as soon as I turned the key, the engine started, but again it was a very slow, very rough idle that quickly increased to normal idle RPM, with less surging, but surging nonetheless. Every time I start the engine, it's the same ritual--super slow idle, increase to normal idle speed, and surging followed by a calm down to normal idle speed. During the entire process, not a single trouble code was stored or pending when I checked, hoping to find some useful info. So, for me it's trial and error to pinpoint the cause of the rough idle and fix it. Did the car sitting without a battery for 6 months damage the sensors or the car's computer or memory?

It's called flash codes.Been around for ever and not a big deal pulling codes. But nothing tells you actually what the failed parts is.Ex..If it's a P0420 which is a b1 catalyst (Aka catalytic converter) it doesn't necessarily mean you have a bad converter. I'd recommend using caution when pulling codes or you'll end up just replacing parts and still end up at the dealer.

Mr Eric, the original PGM-FI ECU in the oldies, like the 3rd gen accord, is underthe drivers seat. That is the case in my car in particular, which is the 3rd gen accord EX-i/LX-i. I do recall the legend being under the passenger seat, though. Cool thing is, if you have an old OBD0 Honda and need to pull a code, theres likely a forum for you to ask the questions you need asked on.

It comes on after about 5-10 minutes of driving and then will stay on until I turn the car off, then it'll repeat the process. Would I be able to use this method if I park the car with the engine running while the light is on? Or will it read the code anyway?

It's cool that you know how to do that, Eric. Some of the local auto parts stores here in Minneapolis and Saint Paul will do a code scan for free, but they also gave me and my friend Torleif a THREE PAGE printout of what the two trouble codes might mean! I figure they want people to buy one part after another, guessing what the trouble code means. On his 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan finding the trouble codes is easy. With the vehicle off, turn the key forward three times; trouble codes are displayed on the odoemeter and then it reads - Done. That is the only thing the Dodge engineers made easy with the Grand Caravan. It's been one problem after another with that thing. Whenever anyone asks me, "What's the most reliable brand of car?" I say, "Buy a Toyota."

Just to complicate things I have a RHD USA built 1999 3.0V6 Accord Coupe with Motorola PCM here in the UK . It has a 2 pin plug and a 3 pin plug in a blue blank support under the steering column . Jumping the 2 pin gives you ABS codes and I got a 32 (Front Right solenoid problem). The trouble is there appears to be several colour codes possible for the 3 pin plug for the SCS wire which you pull codes . One is an earth one is +5v and the other is anybody's guess depending on the colour which could be red , brown or grey depending on wherever you have sourced your info . As it is OBD2 a code reader and 3 pin adapter should work but it does not find the ECU after searching for the protocol Honda uses despite being listed in the code reader document .

Well played that man! This was exactly the problem I had. The ABS light was permanently on on my in-laws Civic EJ and it was due for its TÜV (MoT) test. Turned out to be left rear sensor. And you even show how to put the lamp out ;). TCS traction control system fuse is logical, because the front sensors also control the brakes to give the effect of a limited slip diff. I paid extra for that on a Passat I bought new in 1990. Worked well trying to get up slopes into car parks at ski-resort hotels ;).

I have a 1997 Honda Accord Stationwagon EX 2.2L. The connector is mounted at the bottom of the glove box next to a red connector.

Also. Sixth gen Accords don't have that two pin connector. You have to jump two pins on the OBD-II port. The last one on one row and the fourth one on the other (black and brown wire.) The good news though, is that it will pull SRS codes also!

I just found out that our local AutoZone/Trak Auto no longer scans for free, but if you have obd2 connector, Pep Bros does it for free, and many service stations do. My local one, Sunoco, said they charged an hour of labor = $109 (robbers), but the Meineke another 15 min away said "come on down, no charge!". Just in case you don't want to do it yourself. Also, this video is for obd1, which is prior to 1997 or 8.

I agree with just getting a Scan Tool from Amazon. I bought one that adapts to USB and it works great! Hooked it up to my laptop, loaded codes, and cleared codes from laptop. No fuses to pull!

I found a similar connector for my 96 Odyssey for the SRS and read it with instructions found online with the jumper. Now the only light on is the ABS, I don't think I can just reset it, it goes on and off parked, I can hear click when it comes on. I couldn't figure out the abs codes though, so I will have to revisit it.

My 2000 Honda Accord, was recently purchased by my self. my reverse is out completely. . Umoung starting the car , " while in park" as the car starts making a loud "NOT STEADY" NOISE. Grinding, really loud also as you pull the gear shifter down through, R,N,D, 1,2. moving the shifter one gear at a time , stopping in each gear. Reverse will also grind loudly. NOT A STEADY NOISE, but like grinding teeth. N IS FINE . SHIFT ON DOWN TO, "D." The car will in gage in gear pull and stop when it seems like it has gotten to warm .

This was an awesome find. First because now I can check codes, but secondly I thought I had a stray connector which I hate. I found it when I recently changed the heater blower with failed brushes. Thanks for all the awesome Vids. JPM5 British Columbia, Canada

Very cool info, thank you Code readers are so inexpensive nowadays. I got my Son one for a stocking stuffer for $47 from Amazon. Does the job and almost as much as mine that cost me $150. But my new neighbor has a professional one so I'm in fat city now. Still when you don't have one that is good info you put out there. I think I need to subscribe.

In my case, without bridging the connector, engine light will only stays on for a second like normal?? But when I got the connector bridged using paper clip, the engine light stays on without any blink. What does that mean? Mine is Accord 93, got the blue connector under the dash passenger side. I believe its the right connector.
