Very easy to do. First thing to do is locate what is called the ALCL link. It is usually located under the dash just about under the radio.Here is a picture of what the front looks like to help you get ready to access the codes.

The first thing to do is make a "jumper"( a wire or paperclip straightened out works good.) Next, put one end in the slot labeled "A", while placing the other in the slot marked "B" in the pic.The first code to come up will be a Code 12, ( your light will flash one time, pause, then flash two times.)It is repeated 3 times and lets you know you are doing things correctly.After about 5 seconds any codes stored will then flash like it did for Code 12. Example Code 42 is 4 flashes followed by 2 flashes . If it flashes Code 12 again that means there are no codes stored.
Once you have the codes that your vehicle is presenting to you, come back to this forum and post them so we can help you figure them out.
