Hi Guys,
The check engine light came on in my 1997 Integra.
Where is the cable located to check the codes?
I know it is usually located under the dash somwhere, but I could not find any data cables.
Any advice would be appreciated. Please also let me know what the cable looks like (color, size, picture..etc).
Thanks!
Tommy

 

you mean the OBD2 plug to plug in a code scanner? or the service jumper?

 

HI Relic,
Yes, the service jumper.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tommy

 

i got a 94 integra and mines under the passenger side dash...
like bottem right of the glove box... min is in a plastic green case..
its all the way over to the right tho

 

start with this and follow the links.

 

Hey Guys, thanks for the tips! I found the data cable and got the code.
It turns out it was a code 73 (cylinder 3 misfire..etc).
I rechecked the plugs and cap/rotor and all the wires. It seems that maybe the number 3 wire may have been a bit loose. So far so good...no CEL codes!

cylinder misfire is usually from either storing the car for a long time and getting stale fuel in the cylinder or simply getting bad fuel in general. But it could also be an indication of something serious, keep a close eye on the car for a while. If the CEL doesn't come back on in a few weeks you should be in the clear.

 

Hey guys...well, the dreaded CEL came back on today. I am a bit

I am going to remove the spark plugs tomorrow and check for fouled plugs. I removed the cap and rotor and that seemed ok.
Any other suggestions on what may cause the code 73?
Thanks,
Tommy

 

plugs, wires, cap, rotor... I think that covers it.
I'm not sure how the ECU senses that code so it might be something strange... like the crankshaft fluctuation sensor or something like that.

 

Well guys...after replacing the plugs, wires, cap and rotor two weeks ago, I got the damn CEL again last night! It is the same damn error code 73!
I am at a loss of what else it could be.
Please..any suggestions?

Tommy
