u might need a PGM reader thingy, i don't know how obd2 cars work...for my car all i do is just jump the ECU and look for the flashing LED.

You have to connect pins 8 and 13 on the data link connector under the drivers side dash. I tried to do an ASCII drawing of the diagram the 2 X's are the pins that you need to connect. After connecting these pins you need to turn the ignition to the on position without the engine running and watch the Check engine light and see how it flashes. Long Flashes are 10's places and short flashes are 1's places. I.E. 4 long flashes and 2 short flashes = the code 42. It will flash all engine codes that are in memory and then it will repeat them. Check them for accuracy and then come back on here and IM me on h-t or reply to this thread and I will look up the codes for you.

Hmmm is it the check engine light or the maintenance light? I have never seen the check engine light flash only come on and stay on.

Your forehead must be huge.
