What OBD Is My Car/Ecu

[93 LX COUPE]

this is a picture from the hondata website. the ecu's from top to bottom are as listed below

1. OBD2B (left 3 plugs are used)
2. OBD2A
3. OBD1
4. OBD0 (jdm pr3 and pwo)

i had this pic for awhile because i didn't know what OBD i had in my car. so i figured let me post it and help others out.

90-93 Accords are all OBD1.

I will post a pic of my old ECU (pt3) in a min to show you the plug in sockets.

all cb7's are obd1 from the factory.

none of us will ever have to worry about obd0, and the only ones who need to worry about obd2 are the swappers with 97+ motors.

now i know what OBD i have. but i just threw this out there for noob's and reference. but this is mainly for swappers like you said.

i thought all obd1 were 92-96, aren't they? so if your right my 91' cb7 ex (f22a4) is obd1?

[Father Time]

so if your right my 91' cb7 ex (f22a4) is obd1?

That would be correct.

.

Not sure about Honda in general, but yes, pretty much every Honda from 92 - 96 is OBD1.

[2fast4usteeley]

That would be correct.

ok so since im obd1 where can i get an obd1 programmer for a descent price? and can i get it at a local parts store such as napa or something?

[2fast4usteeley]

plus looking in my car just a second ago shouldnt there be a plug in spot underneath the dash for the programmer, cus i dont see one.

[Father Time]

By programmer, are you talking about a program that allows you to mess with the ECU? Like fuel maps and ignition timing and such?

sorry i meant to say an obd1 scan tool, i keep drooling over this aem programmer i want....

[Father Time]

Passenger side kick panel. It might be wrapped in the loom of wires.

There is no such thing. If you have a check engine light, it can be read by putting a paper clip or in the small two pin connector in the passenger side kick pannel. Then you see how many times the light blinks, and thats your problem code.

There is a listing somewhere and a better definition on how to do it. Search it.

Also if you are thinking about getting a programable ECU, You have a lot to learn.

Stock, the ECU in our cars can not be programed in any way.

The ecu in your CB7 is perfectly tuned from the factory with all stock parts.

But when you add parts such as Intake, header, exhaust, camshaft, high-comp pistons, turbo, ect. You need to get a programable ECU and have it tuned to balance the parts out and get maximal power.

Again, there is no way any programer will help your stock car. Nor will it work.

sweet man thanks for the pic, i was going to ask if someone had a pic, so the obd1 should just plug right into that?

yea i know what your talking about, im already doing a motor build with all that stuff and uprgading the ecu, im keeping it obd1 but with my build im doing im going to need a good programmer wich i just so happend to be looking at, as i posted on the obd1 thread
