How to Retrieve Codes for a 1991 Honda Accord

You can retrieve the trouble codes on your 91 Honda Accord in home garage. The Accord comes standard with an On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) computer that stores trouble codes sent to it from sensors positioned throughout the vehicle when they detect a malfunction. They also keep track of the vehicles regular servicing needs. When the computer receives a code, it illuminates a warning or service light on the instrument panel. You can use a small handheld computerized device called an OBD scan tool to retrieve the codes to diagnose what is wrong with your vehicle. Scan tools are available at auto-parts retailers.

Instructions

1

Find the trapezoidal-shaped data link connector (DLC) on the lower part of the drivers-side dash just left of the steering column. Plug the OBD scan tool into this DLC.

2

Put the key into the ignition and turn it to the "On/Off" position. Make sure you dont go past this point and crank the engine.

3

Follow the directions on the screen of the scan tool to read the codes. Write down the codes on a piece of paper.

4

Unplug the scan tool and turn off the vehicle. Look up the codes in the scan tools manual.
