CEL codes?

[chylnk]

So funny thing happened today when trying to get the ECU code. I first jumped the cable and then turned ignition to position 2. The CEL came on and stayed lit. So then I thought I would try to look at the light on the ECU itself but when I looked at it, it turned out that I had the OBD1 ECU (no light on it). Funny since I have a 1991 Accord EX (I thought those had the OBD0 ECUs???). Anyway, after disconnecting the ECU and putting it back under the metal plate I tried jumping the wires again and viola! I got a blinking CEL.

So here is what I got: 6 short, 1 long, 2 long. How do I interpret that? Is it 6, 10 and 20? 16 & 20?

Now that I think about it more, I guess disconnecting the ECU is almost the same as disconnecting the neg battery cable and fuse, thus resetting the ECU.

There is a pause in between different codes.

Long flash = Maincode
Short flash = Subcode

So I still don't know what my code is. Anyone?

6 ECT - water temperature sensor

Sorry they were so big... thats the size they come off Alldata in. I'll see what i can do in the future to reduce the size but still be able to read the text. I hope these diagnostic trees help you out!

That size was perfect, and its great to see you helping another member out

The OP however needs to confirm the codes, As I said with pauses or without, and is he infact diagnosing the correct codes.
If so, the above procedures are where you need to start.
