you must pull codes first....just jump the obd plug located under your dash by the glove compartment....i believe it is a blue wire and a blue/green wire......stick a paperclip in the plug, start your car, and read the pattern of flashes that the CEL gives....for example, 7 short flashes means a code 7, which equals a bad TPsensor...good luck, and let us know if you have any more questions

You don't have to start the car just turn the key like if you were going to start it. If the flashes are long it means 10 but if they are short it means 1. For example four long flashes and 1 short it means your primary o2 sensor is bad. Hope that helps
