Default check engine light 97 accord

116,000 miles car is running fine it just came on 2 days ago, most likely I am thinking oxygen sensor? where is the connector to check the codes? I will try and get out to Discount auto or Auto Zone to get a free reading.........

There's about 100 other things it might be, so why bother guessing. Get them to read the code.

But get the actual code number & post here. Sometimes the auto-parts-stores can get pretty creative with the explanation of what's causing it.
