You want the OEM part number?

If you have been looking on Lings remove the _pfk from the middle of the URL. It will change Lings part number to Honda part numbers

@nafemannathan tried to get the codes like that guy in your link... Nothing comes on

Found the connector in the passengers side... Where should i conect it to get the readings?
The thing with my engine light it comes on after a mile or 2 ride... Should i have a spin to get the lights on and try again?
Sorry for the stupid questions

You basically have to short it, so get a paper clip or something that will conduct and jam it in both connectors in the plug so that they're looped.

Then turn your key in the ignition 2 clicks (Don't start her up) and watch the engine light flash. Count the long flashes as 10's an the quick flashes as 1's. Add them all up and that'll be your fault code.

It will cycle, so wait for it to repeat. There are longer pauses between each fault code (if you have mulitple faults), so wait until you've had the same one twice before turning the engine off.

So have you reset the ecu already?

Ok tried this one first(the yellow conector like the guy in your add) and as i turn the key twice lights comes on and then all of them off waited for about a min and nothing happened.

Thats the connector in the pasenger footwell... Its got 6 holes there should i short any 3 at the top to any in the butom?

I wonder if that plug in the bottom picture is more to do with the ABS diognostics. So have you reset your ecu already? That'd explain why you'd not get any codes from using the engine bay plug.

The one in the passenger footwell (or wherever it is) should only have two wires to it.

Otherwise try this method...

re: sensor part numbers, if you go into any good motor factors, they should be able to look up a pattern part sensor in a catalogue, just going on model, year, engine.
