Please help i have a diagnostic nightmare. I cannot find the location of my dlc port let alone where the obm connector is. I have a uk model rhd 1.8i es honda accord. I have found where the place should be for my obm connector but there is no connector present just a metal hole. That is in my passenger foot well. I have an ABS warning light and Handbrake light staying on, on my dash board. I want to be able to self diagnose the codes and remove from ecm once problem is fixed. I also need to know the pins i have to short out and which plug it is and a list of the abs warning light codes. I know it's a lot to ask but can anybody help me please.
 
Have a search through the forum. 1998 1.8 accord doesn't have OBD-II (I ***ume this is what you mean when you say OBM?)

Quick search found this:

Some have OBD socket, others don't.
There is a 5 pin connector which supposedly, should be able to be converted to a OBD socket, but I had no success...

As for the pins to short to get the light codes, there is a two pin socket under the glove-box compartment, that's the pins that you have to short.
 
Just took a punt on a 5-pin to odb-ii converter on ebay. Works out at around £3.50

Thankyou obm. I think that i do have dlc socket now. Is it by any chance light blue the 5 pin and the 2 pin connectors underneath my glove box. They are connected into blue sockets with no terminals.

I Know it should be fairly obvious but do you have a little info on this two pin connector. I have found two types of connectors under the glove box. One is a lightish blue 5 pin connector and a lightish blue 2 pin connector they are almost housed together in lightish blue sockets with no terminals in. They are just under the glove box in the middle. I tried shorting the two pin, no blink codes came up the only thing that happened was the engine management light stayed on. I tried shorting out pin 3 and 5 on the 5 block nothing happened, no blink codes. I think i'm almost ready to fold and take it to the garage but i am trying to fight it all the way.
 
From the thread I posted above you might be looking for pins 1 and 3:

Hi Skhell

The two pin plug is for SRS fault code reading

I know the 5 pin plug has the ABS system on it, if you connect pin 1 and 3 the ABS light will read fault codes

have not worked out what the other pins do tho i am aware the passnger fuse box has a test connector too, so not sure if this is maybe intergrated part of the 5 pin plug.

I have the OBD II connector in mine for doing EML
