Two ways to access codes. One as noted here are embedded and can use the ignition a flashes. If your familiar with OBD-I (On Board Diagnostic I) your half way there. OBD-II was mandated in 1996 on all new cars. It is on the S2000 and there is an excellent software package available. Not for the novice the 16 pin connector is located in the passenger well just above the left knee. This site also provides Honda DTC's for download:

May sound silly, but my "check engine" light came on a couple of weeks ago (I've had my s2000 for about five weeks). I took it to the dealership, and they discovered the wrong gas cap had been put on her. They put the appropriate one on and the light went off.
Just a thought...

Most likely a code PO411 with an OBD II scan tool or a Code P060 with a Honda scan tool. How did your friend determine it was the "air system"?

My light has also been coming on and off intermitently over the last month or so. My dealer told me I am not screwing the gas cap on tight enough. I don't believe that since I have been very careful since the first trip to the dealer.
