A 1997 Honda Accord should be equipped with a second version On-Board Diagnostic system, if it sold in USA. The system itself is centered in the Accord's power train control module and runs a series of routine maintenance diagnostic. If the OBD 2 system detects a problem, a diagnostic code is created. If the problem persists the system will illuminate the check engine light on instrument panel. While the OBD 2 system is sometimes thought of as only for analyzing the engine, it also monitors other systems including the Accord's body, chassis electrical system and network communications. An OBD 2 compliant handheld device can diagnose any one of those systems.You'll Need OBD 2 code reader for this job.Look up your OBD 2 code reader's manual to the pages that list generic OBD 2 codes. Place a bookmark by these pages. Then, go onto the Internet and search for Honda's supplemental OBD 2 codes and print these codes out. Open the door to the Accord and take a seat behind the steering wheel. Place your coding resources on the front passenger's seat.Remove the ashtray from the Accord's instrument panel middle console. The ashtray will be located directly below the radio. In the space revealed, you will find a 16 pin-receiving computer connector. This is your Accord's Data Link connector. Link your code reader's diagnostic cable to the DLC and power the device on.Plug your key into the Accord's ignition and switch to the on designation. Code Reader requires that the Accord's engine be operating. If you are using one of these devices, engage the key and power the engine.Check the code reader's display screen. Some scanners are preset for automatic code retrieval. When the OBD reader and the Accord's OBD 2 system sync, the codes will display on the reader's screen. If you do not own a device preset in this manner, look up your user manual for command entering instructions. The general layout and operational system of every brand of code reader is sl ightly different.Scroll through the codes on your reader. There are ways you can start to sort through them, without consulting the definitions. First, look at the status the OBD 2 system has assigned each code. A pending designation means the code's corresponding problem has not happened often. A trouble designation means the problem has happened with a high frequency. When a code is labeled trouble, the OBD 2 system would turn on the check engine light.The first character of each alpha-numeric code will tell you where the problem is detected. P-codes base on the engine, fueling, and emissions systems. B-codes cover the Accord's body as well as mechanical components not included with the engine. C-codes stand for the chassis electrical system. U-codes refer to network communications.Write it down on a piece of paper. Group codes together by their status. Always give trouble codes higher priority. Group the codes together by where they are detected. In this regard, put all t he P-codes together, the B-codes together and so on.Look up the reference materials you left on the passenger's seat. Consult a definition for each code. Copy the definition next to its corresponding alpha-numeric code number on your categorized list. When you have a full list of diagnoses, confirm whether you have the skill and expertise to implement the repairs yourself. If you choose to drive your Accord to a Honda-approved mechanic, take the code list with you. It will save you money on the mechanic's diagnostic fees.
