How to get Prelude CEL codes and what they mean
(Thanks to Schwarzpm)
Get a paperclip and bend it into a U shape.
Make sure the engine’s off and look behind the centre console near the clutch pedal for the service connector; it’s a little (normally) blue connector with 2 wires attached.
Insert the paperclip into the connector to short the 2 wires.
Now turn on the ignition but don’t start the engine, so the dash warning lights light up.
If the CEL light on the dash stays on permanently there are no CEL problems.
If it starts to flash you’ll need to make a note of how many flashes there are.
The CEL light will flash in a loop if there is more than 1 problem
Short flashes mean 1
Long flashes mean 10

Much cheaper and easier than doing a 2ws conversion. As others have said, avoid fast cornering until the issue is fixed.

Just a heads up chaps, there are two types of sensors in use. Single bolt, and twin bolt mounting. Check which one you need/have to avoid the swearing after (been there, done that
).

'On two occasions I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.' - Charles Babbage
