wondering how do get the engine codes to display??which wires must you have to short out to get the engine code readings??

thx

 

1. Get a paper clip, and rebend it into a "U" shape
2. Open the passenger door, get on ur knees, look under the glove box, u should see the service connector taped under there...its Green
3. if u look inside, u see 2 separate small boxes, u want to stick the paper clip in so that its touching both metal pieces...its sorta tricky, u have to make sure the end of the paper clip are touching the metal, which is copper colored...
4. turn the key to the "on" position....the Check engine light (cel) will flash once really quickly, then turn off...then start to blink the code...


long blinks = 10
short blinks = 1

so long long long long, short short would equal 42

hehe thanks, i had just done it about 2 hours before reading the post so it was fresh in my mind...i woudda taken pics too but it was like 3 am and it was 10 degrees outside

 

thanks a lot i really appreciate it!!!

 

so do you like do this if your check engine light is on? im not too smart on this topic...so you would just check the blinks and identify the problem???

 

yes
