The data link connector (DLC) didn't start under the dash untill OBDII started in 96.
On earlier models it was just using a jumper wire at the diagnostic plug and counting blinks of the CEL. That one should be under the hood. Honda guys can chime in here.
It was very basic back then. Probably just an o2 sensor for a 92.

The 2-P Service Check Connector should be located just under the glove compartment, approximately 1" from the right kick panel. It's buried in a rubber mount--carefully remove it, using a small screwdriver. Jump it with a paper clip, turn ignition switch to ON, and count the flashes of the CEL.

Perform K-Test on the ECM:

K-Test: Remove the MAP Sensor connector and turn the ignition switch to ON (Position II). Using a multimeter, check for 5 volts going between the MAP Sensor connector's reference wire (+) and ground. As you look at the connector, this is the socket on the right. Really press the black test lead into a cleaned main ECM ground on the thermostat housing. If the voltage is low, it’s probably indicating ECM failure. Most failed ECMs will record a fraction of a volt. To me, the K-Test is simple, elegant, and accurate.
