Macklum,

There's a diagnostics access box located below the windshield wiper motor, on the drver's side. It's a black box with the word DIAGNOSTICS embossed on the cover. Flip it open and you'll see several terminals. Get a piece of wire stripped at both ends and insert one end to the TEN terminal and the other end to the GND terminal. There should be a labeled diagram on the inside of the cover. Make sure the car is off and the key out of the ignition just to be safe. After the wire is attached turn the key to light the dash up but don't start it...the check engine light should light up and if there are any trouble codes stored in the ECU the light will blink the first digit at a long interval and the scond digit at short intervals. If it is a single number the light will flash quickly and repaeat. Let me know what you get and I'll try to find some codes for you if you need them.
