Answer
You will recall that we exchanged q and a's earlier this month about your car. I am competing to be recognized as 'expert of the month' for November, and the voting ends Sunday afternoon. If you would consider giving me a vote, that would be most appreciated. Use the "Thank/rate" tab below where you will see "nomination?" and then change the 'no' to a 'yes' to give me that support. I hope things are well with you and your vehicle.

Hi Mike,
The 16-pin plug is under the dash usually slightly to the left of the steering column. You can also use the ignition key to get some of the same information in OBD-I codes with the ignition key: 'on-off-on-off-on and leave on', doing that in 5 seconds or less elapsed time.
The check engine light remains 'on' but then begins to flash, pause, flash, etc. Count the number of flashes before each pause. Repeat to be sure of an accurate count. Then group the counts in pairs in the order of appearance to from the two-digit fault codes. The last 2 groups of flashes are always 5 in each, the number 55, which means 'end of readout'. Then write back or go to www.allpar.com/fix/codes.html  for a list of code meanings.
