It’s a scan tool that reads CEL, ABS, and SRS codes on Honda’s from OBD-O to OBD-II.
It worked! However instead of being the seat belt buckles that Honda will replace for free... It’s an internal SRS failure and an open in the driver airbag :(
Still better than a Takata?
The exact codes were 72 and 11 for the SRS. Also the knock sensor is still the only CEL. The clogged EGR code hasn’t returned, yay!

Your scan tool also works on 3rd gen F-bodies!

I have 10 ASE certifications (hopefully 11 soon), a CA Smog Inspector License, and a Smog Repair License, and I have a VW Factory “certification,” yet, I’ve never had to deal with reading OBDI. Damn I’m lucky.

It’s not bad, just a little more time consuming. Because you normally have to count the blinks a couple times because you’ll usually get confused when it switches from long blinks to short ones.

Yup. I know the theory behind them all, but somehow I’ve just never had to read them, I’ve just diagnosed and fixed regular mechanical problems.

Probably because they never pick up anything lol. I’ve never had a pre OBD-II system throw a CEL for anything except a small emissions leak. They’re pretty worthless.

The only time I ever really see an OBDII car is for the MIl. Or they’re complaining about something mechanical but the MIL is also on.

You jump two of the pins on the OBD-II port. Then the CEL, ABS, or SRS light will flash a certain amount of times depending on the code.
Here’s a video about it. But my car doesn’t have the 2 pin connector so you have to do it on the OBD-II port.
