this doesnt make any sense. I used to have a 98 civic that I read the codes with using the check engine blink method. now theyre telling me you need a scanner? what gives? the book I have doesnt say anything about that also

 

You can read codes by jumping the OBD Diagnostic port. I forget what terminals, ill find out when I get home.

 

You can get a pocket scanner for around 60 bucks. I have one that I've only used twice but I'm not mad about spending the money on it. And it's not like the scanners are vehicle specific. If you have a friend or coworker with a trouble code you can help them out with it too.

 

you can get the code manual by counting the blinks on the CE light but it's a limited code just tells you a generic problem but a scanner will tell you if the reading is higher or lower then expected ,no siginal, improper siginal. but cheep scanners are just that cheep they can only read very basic code OBD2 compliant ones but dealer level ones can also open close solenoids for evap test ,monitor voltage of sensor ,read freeze data of when the light came on and trouble started. read SRS ,ABS,TCS codes. as for the CYP problem check the sensor if replaced with new one, check wireing to the sensor to PCM is ok ,check the timing belt as if it's off a tooth it will throw codes like that and last item is a faulty PCM
