I am having a lot of problems with my 1989 accord lxi. I am going to school for automotive technology. My instructor wants to hook a scanner up to the car and i told him there is no diagnostic connector. He is convinced that there is . If ANYONE knows if there is a connector or could help in any way shape or form, it would be appreciated.
Thanks
Josh

What does this have to do with OBD 1? Your Accord is OBD 0 and there's no connector for diagnostic purposes. If you have a CEL, look under the driver seat. The ECU is there. You will see a little plastic cover that will open and the ECU will flash the code to you.
No projects. Life consumes my time and money.
he's your instructor and doesn't know its obd-0? wow
surprised-- even the domestic guys who OCCASIONALLY look under the hoodof my car (Also an 1989 LX-i) know that.... very funny, indeed
I recently discovered a wire harness with one black and one red wire
right underneath the steering column near the fuse box. What the hell is it for ? I was thinking maybe some kind of diagnostic connector ???
our cars are obd0 = pre obd = no diagnostic ports other than looking at the back of the ecu after a cel.
The wiring harness that Im talking about is coming out of the wiring harness that goes to the brake light switch. Im not saying it's a diagnostic connector.
Does anyone know what it is for ? It has a pink wire and a black wire with a plastic clip at the end. I can't find anything that it would plug up to though.
could it be a connector for additional brake lights? if you're towing something? My teg has an additional plug near the brake lights in the back... maybe its similar or related?

I had that on mine too. It's something to do with the clutch pedal. On the 89's i think i remember their being 2 switches. and the second connector is plugged into that.

its the plug for the clutch pedal. when i did my 5 speed swap, i was surprised to find that plug right there
The connector in question is for the clutch pedal, and goes to the cruise control (if the car has it).
