Do you want to read the trouble codes off the ALDL? I have not seen a DIY code reader. It's pretty simple just looking at them.

Take a paper clip and place it between the the two upper pins at the right side ( A-B )then turn on the ignition ( not start ) and the SES light will flash: flash, pause, flash-flash, long pause flash, pause, flash-flash, long pause flash, pause, flash-flash, long pause.After this "12" code repeating three times the "real" error codes come .

88': No, The long pause seperates the individual codes. The first set of flashes is the tens digit. The second set of flashes is the ones digit. Long pause seperates the codes. All flashes are the same length.
