Looks like I need a dealer scan tool. Anyone have access to one that can tell me the reading?

It'll save me a 99 labor charge. If not Honda Renton here i come.

.... you mean you already plugged in an OBD tool but need a "dealer scan tool" or you just need a generic one?

Yeah, a generic OBD reader ought to work for all but the really weird stuff.

Well, funny thing is. My buddy got a reading with a paper clip. Jumping it from pin 4 and 9 on the OBD plug. It gave him a (DTC)diagnostic (flashing of the CEL). Sorry to say but my gas cap wasn't tight! HAHAHAHAHAH
