You don't know much about OBD-II, that's for sure.
ODB mandated standard codes are _identical_ for _all_ vehicles sold in
North America since 1996, and may be read by _any_ code reader. The second
character in these codes is always zero. (P0301, etc)
The VOLUNTARY codes (second digit is one or higher) are specific to the
manufacturer that adopted it. These cannot be read by all code readers, so
you need to buy a reader that will handle Honda enhanced codes. (P1456,
etc)
Two here:
www.matcotools.com
www.otctools.com
AutoZone and other places also sell readers compatible with Honda enhanced
codes.
CAN is just a communications protocol, like TCP/IP. The codes themselves
remain the same. CAN will be on ALL cars by 2008.

remember from a year or two ago is that Honda being Honda had some
proprietary thing going on and their codes couldn't be pulled by the
guys at Autozone, or cheap scanners, etc...only the $3500 Snap-On
reader or similar. So, are we truly past this expensive roadblock as
DIYers?
