Scan Guage...
Is this the name or brand name of the product - I can only find one product
when looking for "scan gauge": http://www.scangauge.com/ Are there any competing products, and am I correct in assuming the OBD port for my 2002 Accord is under the driver's side dash? a |

The OBD II port is under the dash on the driver's side. Should be handy the steering column. |

To get the generic kit and the Honda add-on, it's around $500. The ScanGuageII is probably better suited for most folks.

There's reason to have both, actually, but depending on what you want, one of them is entirely unsuited. |

Socialism in the USA is kind of like Robin Hood , except here it means Rob from the hard working people that earn the money, take half for yourself and use the other half to buy the votes to get reelected from the people that don't want to work via welfare, food stamps, WIC, etc. end of rant Back on topic, the Scangauge II is a very good product, I have had one about a year and a half and love it. I have used it to train myself to drive for mileage and get consistently above 30 mpg in town with an '02 Civic (MT). Scott |

But that's not the point. The point of having a generic Check Engine light was to coerce the owner into visiting a garage to find out what was wrong. Visiting a garage means there would a greater chance the problem (and maybe others) would get fixed and not ignored. Fixed problems theoretically mean lower emissions, the whole point of OBD-II in the first place. At one time government bureaucrats were thinking that even this was not enough, and there was talk of mandating an "OBD-III" that would actually snitch on you to the government if you were driving around with your Check Engine light on and not getting it looked at. I don't think that idea has gone anywhere...yet. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

Still no reason for government to "mandate" unnecessary items like Scangauge,radios,or AC as "standard". Sure,I'd like to have a Scangauge myself,but I do NOT agree that gov't needs to mandate them. Heck,most people wouldn't bother with them,wouldn't even realize they were a feature of their autos. But that Canuck would have EVERYBODY have to buy them,as part of a gov't mandated standard;the auto companies don't install that stuff for free. > > >> but >> would LIKE to have. >> Heck,even seatbelts and airbags save some lives. >> >> Should air conditioning be made mandatory? >> AM/FM/CD radios?

Avoiding the term "mandated", since so many cars already come with video screens anyway for navigation or whatever, you'd think they'd come with a diagnostic display right on there, too, but noooooo.
