If not isnt there a plug next to the ECU on the passenger side kick panel i can check..
I was under the impression to that there would be a plug down there with a 2 pin connecter and to loop that connector with a paper clip, and then put the key in the ignition and watch for the code to flash on the check engine...
You are correct, here is a decent instruction page. I know it for an Acura CL, but the Accord and CL are 90% the same.
