Cross these two terminals as shown with a piece of wire, then turn the key on. Count the flashes, a 22 will flash as 2 flashes then a short pause, then 2 flashes, if more than one code is stored, the pause will be longer. The codes will display three times and end with 12. Write them down and post here. This connector is right under the middle of the dash...

Welcome to the forum, your obd 1, you can check your own trouble codes, if you haven't already.

You connect jumper wire between terminals A & B at the datalink connector, turn key to on, no crank. The check engine starts flashing, you count the flashes to get the codes. These are two digit codes. If the lite is coming on, there should be a code?
