Its page 11-A-34 of my (Dutch) service manual.
That chapter (11?) has 2 subs, the F20C2 (11-A-1) and F20C1 (11-B-1).
Maybe the US version doesn't have the F20C2 info.
They show the P-code you get with an OBDII and the code you get when counting the blinks of the CEL light after you short some pins to ground.
(I'm not being specific here on purpose - the procedure is in the FAQ and Modifry's explaines it on his website too)
Funny thing is I can't find the "counting CEL light" procedure in the manual.

It may be the older manuals have different info. I certainly don't have any info on newer engines since the manual is for only the '01. In any event, the codes listed in mine don't go low enough (P0107 is the lowest one) so I tried using the generic OBDII lookup. Looks like Honda has specific codes scattered all through the range - I had thought they were limited to 1000+. Oh, well...

My manual has absolutely nothing about using the CEL. ANother difference. Before I bought the scanner, I used Modifry's info.

Oh, well^2...

That is the same in my manual.
But.. OBDII-P0107 has a "CEL blink code" of 3
Just like OBDII-P0302 (misfire cyl #2) has a "Cbc" of 72 (7 long, pause, 2 short)

I don't think there is an OBDII-P0072, or a Cbc of 302.
30 long blinks.. don't lose count

Oh well^3
