Remove spare fuse from fuse block and insert into DIAG SW connector terminal. Turn ignition to "RUN" and count MIL flashes.
OR
Connect jumper wire between terminal 2 and 4 on DLC. Turn ignition to "RUN" and count flashes.

Thanks!! That sounds simple and easy, except for one thing--I am not sure what MIL flashes are. Does 'MIL' refer to some dash light?
That one is also just a bit too technical for me. I do not know what the DLC is. I assume a jumper wire is a plain wire, connecting the two pins? Are they the same two pins I would have connected with the fuse in the first option?
Check engine light. I think you should go pick up a Haynes manual. It will describe how to do it in there. They're only. $15-$20.

Cool, thanks! I have a Chilton's for the car. Usually I buy Haynes manuals for my cars. I can't remember why I bought this Chilton's.
MIL = Malfunction Indicator Lamp DLC = Diagnostic Link Connector (I think)
I connected a spare fuse to the DIAG socket and got the codes. Never imagined it would be so easy. Thanks!!
Thanks!
