the ECU is behind the glove compartment
The manual says it is possible to get the codes by grounding the SCS line
at the diagnostic connector (brown wire) to ground (black wire). I haven't
tried it, though.
To reset codes. turn ignition off and remove fuse #6 in the under hood
fuse box (marked ECM/PCM). Dont forget this will clear "readiness " status
and the car will have to be driven until they are set before you can pass
inspection.
The problem is that almost but not all OBDII codes are availible this way
and I have not seen this info outside of a factory service manual, as
everyone now uses scanners instead of counting blinks of the MIL like we
did twenty years ago.
If there is enough interest I could post the MIL code to OBDII code
crossovers.
(MIL is the Malfunction Indicator Light, I.E. Check engine light)
Suggest you get a factory manual and read a lot before you jump in, you
may decide you are better off paying a good mechanic.

See page 4 of

I think this is the same for a 2001 Civic.

Not the greatest drawing, but if you look for the ECU
brackets, you might find it:

See item #4. IIRC, it's on the left of the front passenger's
footwell.
