Ebay sells them cheap. Otherwise, most mechanic places would have one.

To pull the code, go to the OBDII connector & jumper pins 4 & 9 together with a small piece of wire or paper clip.
The numbers are written on the connector in tiny writing.
The connector is located in front of the centre console, to the left hand side of the drivers foot well.
The Malfunction Indicator light (MIL) should start to flash out error codes. To interpret the MIL flashes, count the number of long flashes and multiply by 10, then add the number of short flashes.
EG: 2 long flashes = 20 + 5 short flashes = Code 25
I'll see if I can find a list of what the codes are.

If you get stuck on those instructions,
Go to Hondata.com, download the K-pro software & look in the help file.

This will show you a clear picture of what to do.
Hope that helps
