cromar07 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hi all, I have an engine light on thats been frustrating me for months as no diagnostics kit i've linked up with the 5 pin plug has had a connection - they all advise an error linking. I've tried the paperclip test on the 2 pin plug, and my engine light does flash but its just repetative and no code is given - just on and off as long as the ignition is on. What is strange though is that my SRS light flashes giving 9 long flashes with 2 short, 7 long flashes with 2 short then 9 long flashes again and 2 short. After this, it remains on as a constant. Is this showing codes 92, 72 and 92 again? I'm baffled by it but would really like to find the error and fix it to keep my car good!Any help would be much appreciated! Alan.

simpo Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Going buy the cel codes there isn't a code 92 so it must be a 9 which CYP - cylinder sensor 2 which is O2B - Oxygen sensor #272 which is random misfire cylinder 2But I could be wrong follow this linkviewtopic.php?f=90&t=4268&p=83207&hilit=Cel+codes#p83207 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cromar07 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 But i suppose i'm asking, is that the correct codes given that the diganostics cant connect and its the SRS light flashing and not the CEL? Also i,ve noticed you're reading it using OBD1 codes... Would the ECU in my civic not be OBD2?Thanks for a quick reply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 should be cel flashing when you short the pin. seems strange.but yes your car will have obd1 error codes. although the ecu is obd2a, its kind of a mish mash of obd1 and 2 i think.

cromar07 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Ive just realised i didnt check the fuses properly first time and noticed the F32 fuse (7.5A) is blown which controls: engine management control unit, clock, radio... Which would explain why my clock n radio reset every time i stop/start the ignition and most probably why the diagnostics werent getting a connection?

cromar07 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Ok so i changed the fuse, but still no reading on the diagnostics computer... Least my clock works now. Thats one off the list haha. So i tried Bridging the service socket again and it dawned on me... Am i being a total doofus? If the CEL is flashing on and off repeatedly at the same rate (long on, long pause) is this actually telling me I have fault code 10? Would it just continue to repeat the code until u disconnect the bridge? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpo Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Yeah pretty sure it will keep repeating the code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cromar07 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hmm well at least an IAT sensor is only 20odd bucks! I'll swap it over and see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simpo Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Yeah that's right should do long flashes first then the short flashes. If its doing short flashes first then think it will be a cOde 1-9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
