How do I pull my engine codes if I do not have a scanner tool?

Do one of the following:

a. Go to Autozone and have them read your codes (it's free)

or

b. See the instructions below

WARNING!!!: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK AS SHORTING THE WRONG PINS WILL RESULT IN DAMAGED ECU.

a. Find the Data Link Connector (DLC) located under the instrument panel in the driver's side. It is bolted to the kick panel and is gray in color on the 1998 models.

b. Jump terminals 8 and 13 by connecting them with a wire/cable.

DATA LINK CONNECTOR (DLC)


c. Turn the ignition key to ON and observe the "CHECK ENGINE" light. It will flash the trouble codes. For example: 2
long flashes, pause and then 3 short flashes = 23 = P0325 = Knock sensor circuit fault (4 cyl only).
One short flash = 1. One long flash = 10. If there is no trouble codes, the light will not flash.




The following codes will not flash since they require a code scanner:
P1607-PCM internal circuit failure
P1705,06,38,39,53,68,73,91-Automatic transaxle failure


HOW TO CLEAR TROUBLE CODES (after you fix the problem)
a. Remove ignition key

b. Locate fuse panel on passenger's side

c. Remove fuse #13 10 seconds, and then place it back in.
