I have been posting about trouble with a 98 Accord and all the codes I
have gotton. These codes were retrieved for me at Autozone.

Do the Autozone code readers work with these cars or do they require
some sort of special Honda Reader?

the $150 actron they have at autozone, i found for $99 at pep boys. itll
work on ALL cars from 96-present. and ones that adapted to the OBD2
standard earlier than that.

any code read that is OBD-II compliant will work perfectly. autozones have
a few variations of OBD-II scanners. some have the older black box Actron,
while other use the new orange Actron that displays the generic code
definition as well.
