So I am new here and I am also a fairly new cl owner....like the site....lots of helpful things here....

So my 01 cl type s has 123K on it and the maint req'd light just started flashing a few times after the rest of the idiot lights go out....I have an OBD II code reader and wanted to see what codes are popping up, but I can't find the Sixteen pin DLC connector......

I'm sure you guys know where this is and how to access it..... any help is greatly appreciated........

Matt.

 

Below the coin holder, the space between the 2 heated seat buttons, its a false floor you just put your fingers up into the ceiling of that little area and pull up on the piece. And also the maint req'd light flashing doesn't mean your setting a code, it just turns on every 5k or so miles... but just check it anyways for practice when you do ever set a CEL.

 

Thank you... so i am getting a code of P1740..... i think this is a transmission problem...anyone know? I'm going to call the dealership tomorrow and find out what they have to say about it....

 

From the service manual....

P1740, Problem in the 4th clutch pressure switch circuit.
Looks like it may be a loose connector or shorted wire.

 

thanks alot... hopefully i dont have to spend a ton of money to have it fixed.
