To read the diagnostic fault codes, cycle the ignition switch from "off" to "run" to "off" to "run" to "off" to "run" three times within five seconds, then leave it in the "run" position. If the starter ever engages, even for a second, turn the ignition switch off, wait a few seconds, then start the procedure over. After a few seconds the Check Engine light will display the two-digit codes as a series of flashes and pauses.

Count the flashes for the first digit. There will be a short pause, then the second digit will be flashed the same way. After a longer pause, the next code(s) will be flashed. The first code could be code 12. Disregard that one; it just means the ignition switch was turned off. The last code to be displayed will be 55. That means "end of message".
