sign up and log onto www.clubaristo.net

there is a way to check it using just speaker wire, but ithink it's a 2 person job.

and the codes should be listed on there as well

Stick a paper clip in E1 and TE1 in the diagnostics box under the hood then put the ignition in position 2 and count the blinking lights. The CEL will blink giving you your codes.

Example: blink blink blink pause blink would be code 31.
