Hey guys,

I'm pretty new to Honda's, as I just picked up my 99 Honda Civic DX last night for a daily driver instead of my gas guzzling truck. After getting home with it last night (less than 4 hours after purchasing) the check engine light goes on. It started making some weird noises in the engine bay as well. So today I go pick up an OBD-II scanner to scan for the codes. Well, the scanner (which works because I tested it another vehicle) will not even light up when plugged into the OBD-II port under the dash. I have checked the pins and everything is straight, but my only assumption is the OBD-II port is not working in the car. How can I go about figuring this whole thing out? Is there a fuse specifically for the OBD-II port that I could check. ANY help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Never mind about this. I seemed to find the problem. The interior light fuse was blown, which in turn was also tied in with the OBD-II port. After it was replaced, I was able to scan the computer.

 

im pretty sure you will never forget that...after fixing your own problem...it stays with you for the rest of your life...now thats knowlege!

 

good items im glad it got fixed
