Cant Read CEL
I have a cel on my 06 si and i have hooked two obd2 scantools up to it and both of them say link error. Im about to take it into the dealer and listen to them ***** about me having mods on my car and how they will charge me a insane amount of money to fix it. The cel came on after a day of modding the car. I put a aem sri, greddy cat back, and teins on my car and it decided to throw this cel. i have reset my computer at least a dozen times. Anyone have any ideas what could be the problem with it? Thanks for the input

actron pos. its the same bright orange one that adavnced used on my car. i thought it might be the scantool but when they used theres and it said the same thing. i kinda ruled that out. i found a way to do a self diagnosis on the cel so i will post the codes when i get them in the morning.

Not sure if this applies to the Civic or not, but I'm coming to the Civic from a Mazda 3. On the Mazda 3 you couldn't hook up any old OBDII scanner because the Mazda 3 used a new thing called CAN (controller area network) bus. Is the new Civic using CAN also?

A little bit unrelated, but so far i have taken my car back to the dealer twice for cosmetic repairs and each time, they could not get a read with the sensors, guy mentioned link error both times too. Still dunno what that was about.

this is what happened. i stole a pic of someone else sri cause im lazy and didnt want to take pics of mine. so the two clamps that i circled wherent clamped they were zip tied tightly in place. when i got my sri they shorted me those two hose clamps. so i just zip tied them thinking it would be ok. turns out no it wouldnt be. i just didnt think something so small would throw a cel. so finally i went out and bought some clamps and clamped it and all is well.
