QUESTION: Check engine light came on one time today but didn't stay on.This is my sons car he said the light came on before.I put a jumper wire on a%26B to get the codes it would not bring anything up.I unplug the battery and hooked back up seem like it ran better for 5 min. Thanks for quick reply.

ANSWER: You get the codes via the CLIMATE CONTROL PANEL.

If you have a DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER:

1. Turn ignition switch ON, Do NOT start the engine.

2.On the climate control panel locate the OFF and WARMER (fan up) buttons and SIMULTANEOUSLY push and hold both buttons for 3 seconds and release them.

3. On the FUEL DATA display the CODES will appear in the combination form of LETTERS & NUMBERS followed by the word History or Current which will appear after EACH code displays.

4. After the codes display the display will stop at ECM?

5. Push and release the AUTO button.


Tell me what CODES you get and which codes are History and which codes are Current.
