Default Reading CEL without scanner?

I've done this many times with past Honda's, including my 2000 Si, but I've noticed that the OBD-II connection port is different on my 2000 S2k. Is there a way to check my Check Engine Light without using a scanner? If so please link me the instructions.

I've checked the FAQ's and attempted searching...sorry but the search feature on this website is absolutely horrible

That's the way I did it before, same directions only what that link calls pin 1, I think is actually pin 9. The the pins marked as ground would be pins 4 and 5. The pin marked pin 8 is actually pin 16.

Here's another link that I believe has the port labelled correctly. My OBDII cable has it's pins marked and they match this diagram. Also I used this procedure to pull a SRS DTC from an 02 Civic.

Basically locate, the OBDII connector and jump pin 9 to pin 4, not pin 1 to anything.
Good Luck.
