Stick a paper clip in that plug with the key on and engine off, then watch the magic unfold on your dashboard.

Your check engine light will start blinking, count the blinks.

1 fast blink, pause, 2 fast blinks = Code 12
1 fast blink, pause, 3 fast blinks = Code 13

And so on, and so forth.


Post your VIR and I can tell you the most likely causes to your problem. The VIR is the white paper the emissions guy should've given to you. It'll display items such as RPM, HC PPM, CO %, and NOx PPM.
