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!!
