Yes, too old. But you can read trouble codes - search for the procedure.

This forum is for questions & problems with the website. I'll move this where it belongs.

Stand on your head on the floor board behind the drivers seat.
Under the driver seat is a plastic shroud with a small plastic door in it.
Under that little door is an LED.
When you turn on the key the LED will blink out a code.

Here are the 'top secret' codes;

Hondadude...

I always get confused. What year did Accord change from the blinking LED to the SCS connector & flashing CEL? Whenever someone asks about something near 1990, I'm never sure what to say.

Thanks for the info. I'm good at standing on my head.
