    How do I do a manual check for codes on a honda civic dx 4dr 1.5 1995?
    My check engine light is on and I want to do a manual check to find the code to get the fix to turn it off, I've replaced one plug that had a frayed wire, then disconnected the battery for a minute which turned off the check engine light for about 2 seconds. So the frayed wire wasn't the problem.

    Service Check Connector (SCC): Reading OBD-I Codes

    When the Check Engine Light (CEL) is on, it will be necessary to locate the 2-pin Service Check Connector (SCC) on OBD-I (pre-1996) Hondas. It is normally located under the dash, approximately 1 inch (2.5cm) from the right kick panel. Take a small screwdriver and carefully pry it from the rubber mount. The other 3-pin connector in the rubber mount is the Data Link Connector (DLC), which should be left alone. Jump the SCC with a paper clip, turn the ignition switch to ON (Position II), and count the number of times, if any, the CEL flashes. Reference a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) chart to identify the code being displayed.
