Check engine light is on

Sorry for askin but....

The check engine light is on, I have access to all the codes,but how do I read them. I thought I did this last year but i forgot.
Yep, I have the service manual, the OBAII is under the Driver side dash i marked the connector pins. Did i short them??? Or is the only way,is to go and have the scanner tool check it

No, but i have the list of codes that tell the description, when i had my 93 v6 4x4 I shorted the TE1 and E1 , so when i got my 03 I'm pretty sure I checked the codes, the reason why is under the Drivers side is the OBAll and i have 2 terminals marked , although when i shorted them my cruise,abs air bag, P. brake lights came on and the cruise and abs where blinking, and I think the code #'s showed up in the odometer display..it was a year ago when i did this so i kinda forgot

Go get a code reader and scan the codes. Or go to autozone and have them scan them. Write down the numbers of the codes and then get back to us.
