just flip the picture 180* and that is what it will look like in your engine bay. jsut use a piece of wire and turn your ign to the 'on' position. dont start it.

count the flashes.

Ex) flash, then pauses for 2.5secs, flash,flash,flash,flash. taht is a code 1-4 or 14.

EDIT: scroll down for more information regarding what the codes are and what the problem is.

If your check engine light isn't on, there are no fault codes stored in the ECM.

If it is on, you get to jump the TE+E1 terminals and then count the blinks of the check-engine light.

There can be codes stored without enough to trip the CEL. Always good to check just incase.
