You don't need a code reader for the '95 Civic. There is a service check
connector behind the carpet under the glove box (above the ECU) The
service check connector is 2-pin. There is a 3 pin data-link connector
in the same harness, and they are both taped to a wire harness above the
ECU. Pull both connectors down and short the two pins of the 2-pin
connector with a paper clip or a piece of wire, then turn on the
ignition. The error codes will be flashed on the MIL in the instrument
cluster. Long flashes are the 10's, short flasher are the 1's (4 long
flashes and 2 short flashes means 42). Multiple different codes may be
flashed after another. After all codes are flashed out, it starts over
again with the first error code.
When you have read the codes, turn off the ignition and remove the paper
clip.
