The title pretty much says it all.

Thanks

Rather than explaining it all, go here to find out, after you read it, go try out your new skill.

connect the A and B terminals of the ALDL connector with a wire or paperclip (upper right hand terminals), turn the ignition on the ON position and the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT will blink the codes.

Ok, I just did this and my SES light started blinking but no codes were shown, not even a code 12. Does code 12 only appear if there is a error code or should it appear even if there is no error code?

thanks again

yes the Code 12 should always be there. You have to count the blinks. It should repeat 3 times then go to the next code if any. If no code 12 then it may be a problem with the ECM itself.
