Anyone know where the check service connector is in a 97' Honda Civic EX. Can't find it, and the Chilton's guide doesn't explain where it is. I've heard it's in the Passenger kick panel, but I can't find a green plastic piece witha blue connector anywhere in that area;( . Help is mucho appreciated. Gracias.

its a connector with 2 wires conected to it but the connector itself isnt attatched to anything, just pull back the carpeting at the passenger foot area to the right near the door.

Did you find it?

You dont really need to use it to check the code its throwing off. Just turn the ignition to AUX 3 times without starting the car and it will flash the code for you.:yes:

1) Open your passenger door, and move the seat all the way back.

2) See that big piece of plastic beneath the dash? It should be connected to the firewall with a big, black, plastic screw.

3) Use a nickel or quarter, and unscrew it.

4) Remove the plastic piece. It'll take a bit of pulling, but it eventually pops out.

5) When removed, you should see your ECU and ABS control box (if you have ABS).

6) Also note that if you search around, there should be a rubber green thing with a blue "connector" inside of it to which two wires are coming out of.

There you have it. :)

I still haven't had time to look yet, but thanks for all the help! Hopefully I'll get a chance this weekend.
