94 Accord
 

The service light came on and stayed on (no flashing, etc.) in my son's 94
Accord - Firestone didn't have the right connector to plug in to his car and
diagnose the codes. Now the other service light is on, too - again, steady
on, no flashing - the car seems to be running fine - any suggestions before
I send him to the dealership?

I'm confused - are they the "service due" light and now the "check engine"
light?

Yeah, and write the CODES down, not just the 'interpretation'.

Your car is NOT ODB-II, so nobody will be able to pull any codes using an
OBD-II reader.

Instead, you need a sophisticated piece of hardware known as a
"paper clip". You use the paper clip to short two pins together in the
Service Check Connector to make the Check Engine light flash.

See here:
http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/misc/..._E_14JAN03.pdf
specifically page 15.

Report the code(s) back here.


As for the other light, it must be the Maintenance Required lamp. You can
reset it here:
