if your talking about the OBD2 Diagnostics connector AUDM dont have it

only the 3 pin DLC connector

Is the 96 EK1 even proper OBD2?

[ECU-MAN]

its OBD2, but doesnt use the regular connectors that Honda uses for OBDIIa and b.

Hi Guys,

I'm new to Honda's and I have a 98' compliance plate but 97' built Civic Gli sedan.

I've been trying to find the OBD connector but still can't find it. I found HondaHookup.com ages ago and they insist it's an OBD-II model and that the connector is under the dash near the steering column LINK (http://www.hondahookup.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1864457&postcount=28)

I have just about pulled the entire dash off and still can't find it..

I have pulled the left kick panel off but I'm not sure it's there ...

HELP!!!!!

Also, after downloading the full service manual and bleeding the clutch I now have what sounds like a rubber squeak when depressing the clutch, any ideas.

Also I have a whistle type noise when I am at about 1/3 to 1/2 throttle under load. When I give it more throttle the noise goes or when I use less.


Car is perfect only ever serviced by Honday dealer. I brought it at 70k km's and it has only just ticked over 100k after having it for about 2 1/2 years.

I only use Honda parts for the car... Anyone know of a cheap place to get trade on parts. I was using a guy in Melb but I think he is telling me crap about getting trade...

your car will not have a OBDII port. Australian cars didnt get them until 2004

in the red cirle you have the 2 pin SCS and 3 Pin DLC connector

Thanks ECU-Man,

What are the three letter acronyms? What would I use to check engine codes?

Thanks guys. What does SCS & DLC mran?

[beeza]

It's time for someone to use google.

All those simple questions,google can answer,the trickier ones,the guys will be more than happy to meet the challenge.

So from what I have found one is a Service Connector and the other is a Data Link Connector???

I'm still none the wiser, why there is two. I can only assume one is for checking the ECU service codes and the other is to program the ECU???

Is there a way to get a bit more out of the ECU?

[ECU-MAN]

no,

DLC is for Honda HDS or PGMFI tester, you can also get aftermarket readers that connect to the 3 pin DLC

the SCS is only for reading codes and setting the ignition timing

[subie]

sorry to dig this up but are there any conversion plug to turn these 3 pin DLC and 2 pin SCS into OBD port ??
