Where is 92 computer and what pin to read codes?

How do you access a 92 computer and what ports do I push to see codes? Just use a paper clip?

IT's the uppermost right two holes. A and B to check for codes. The computer itself is under the passenger side of the dash.

Push the bottom of the ECM toward the front of the car. Once the velcro lets go and the ECM case clears the ledge, can pull it straight down out of the slide mount.

I'm not sure, but there may be some confusion here. If the access to the computer is to flash codes, there is no need to pull it out of it's mounting.

The ALDL connector is next to the fuse block. Drivers side, above your left foot. Can use a paper clip there to have the ECM flash the codes. A paper clip works.

Yes, behind the fuse panel. Usually need a drop or flash light to see it as it is tucked up some out of the way.

Re: Where is 92 computer and what pin to read codes?

Codes 32-EGR failure, 42-EST system failure, 43-ESC Knock sensor failure.


could the timing being off cause that code? also what do I need to do about the egr? should I fix it? If I delete it will it throw the code? I need to fix this by fri cause I am driving it a hour away and don't want any issues.
