Did you jumper wire the service connector?

The trouble code should be stored in the ECU even if the CEL does not remain ON constantly.

Its a soft code, you can do the jumper thing while the car and cel are on.

It should be behind the passenger kick panel above the ECU. See the CEL link for example pictures of the connector.

I goes by year i think for the color of the connector/wire. Go to the thread on the main forum list and see what color it is for the eg connector/wire and thats the one you use. Also if you didnt get it the first time, its in a green holder with a few others.

Just stick you hand in the lower passenger panel. The connectors are pinned against the panel if it has never been used. Pull it out, take the green cover off and your gonna see two connectors. One has 3 pins, the other 2. Take the one with the two. Grab a paper clip, if thats not availiable to you, grab a 3 inch wire, rip the ends off and stick it in the pins. once you do that start checking for codes.
Like you said the light will come on when driving so drive it and when the light starts flashing, start counting. Thiers no need to remove the carpet to get to those specific connectors.
