Default Good OBD I code reader (scanner)

Sorry to drag up an old post, but I'm looking for an OBD reader
for my 95 Civic as well. According to this article:
(http://autorepair.about.com/cs/troub...a030902a_2.htm),
*any* auto 1995 or newer has OBD II. Is this true?

Thanks.

-Marc

Not true . . . My '95 Odydssey was NOT OBDII compliant. The '96 year
model was.

Autozone doesn't do for Honda CIVIC 93 for sure as the code is not
machine readabe for this model.

I been trying to locate this damn service connector under the globe
box as people described. Still no luck. The one I found is T shape and
two holes what was actually plugged with something. I pulled it and my
AC fac stopped. I put it back, my AC fac started working. Therefor for
sure this is not the one.

I am not sure which one is it? Any idea?

Integras didn't go OBD-II until 1996.

"Under the glove box" is a poor description, as you have found out. Open
the passenger door and get down on your knees (now, LICK MY BOOTS!). Put
your hand on the plastic door sill, then follow the sill forwards as it
curves up the door jamb. Just about where the plastic sill ends you will
see a fairly thick wire harness coming down from above. The service
check connector and the data link connector both come down in this
harness, but are tucked back up again and taped to the outside of the
harness loom. If all else fails, check out
http://www.geocities.com/ng_randolph/Civic/mvc-163s.jpg for a photo of
what it looks like after the SCC and the DLC have been pulled down. The
Service check connector is two-pin, the data link connector is 3-pin.
