Sticky ECU Code 14

Jumping the SCS connector reads out the ABS codes or the SRS codes depending
on which light you are looking at, NOT the engine codes. You need to read
the engine codes with an OBDII tester. ABS14 is left front wheel sensor, SRS
1-4 is short in driver air bag inflator..You can't flash engine codes on any
OBDII vehicle I know if.

might not be available on that vehicle - we've had questions regarding
vehicles from that market before - they're not what we're used to here.
from what i can tell, the code is being read correctly.

Yes you are. Honda outside North America does not use the OBD-II DLC
system; they retain the more sensible MIL-flash method.

You obviously don't know of very many OBD-II cars then. All Nissans and
Hondas to this day still have a way to flash engine codes. Per the FSM for
my '06 CR-V, you can flash codes by shorting the SCS line (with something
called an HDS). '96 was the first year for ODB-II and the SCS connector is
still separate and readily available on those models.
