Re: check engine light
Pull down the two-wire blue plug from atop the ECU and jump it with a paperclip. Watch your check engine light now - It should blink one or more codes at you. Long flashes are 10's and short flashes are 1's. Decipher the numbers and compare them to the list at http://hybrid.honda-perf.org/tech/codes.html
For future reference, you could have found this information much quicker by searching google.

this link is for a 92-95 civic but it still applies to 96-00 obd2a/b. i think the wires are different, i got to check. but you cant miss it, its like a plug just hanging around near the ecu.
you could goto autozone or if you dont want to risk driving with the code, you could check it at home. good luck

Re: check engine light
omg....either way...its much faster and easier to go to the local advance or autozone and get a FREE diagnostic done and have a printout of the codes...but you also need to cross reference the CODE number to a tech forum...the written codes on their screens are not always right...but the numerical code will be....

wow he was right, not like that is a good thing. Id rather work off a P code then the old school codes.
edit: and this is how you get it for YOUR car if your still interested.
