check engine light fault trouble codes list
I found this on the net so I don't know if it's correct or not.
Before you can start reading the CEL (check engine light) in your dash, you need to 'jump' your ecu. Here's how.
Located the factory two-pin connector of brown and black wires near the ECU on Civics del Sols and Integra's, or behind the center console for Preludes and Accords. Pull that 2-pin out of the main harness. Using a wire or paper clip as a jumper, connect the outputs of the harness together, so that the black wire and the brown wire make a circuit. Once this is jumped together, the dash will start the light show, so its a good idea to jump first, then turn to on.
For 88-91 Honda's and 86-93 Acura's:
The ECU's on these cars actually have a neat little window right on the computer case. No need to jump here- just turn it to on, and watch it right there through that window.
For both steps above, the output will be in a Morse code style of long and short lights. Every long equals 10 and each short is 1. For example, 2 long and 3 short is 23.
