Did the light come on after you got gas? If so check your gas cap. I'll get that other diagram up today.

The Bseries computer is basically a fuel management system and u will find it difficult to pull "codes" from the computer.
The "check engine" lite is usually on as a pollution control device service interval reminder.I believe that the small green female recptical on the pass.side firewall is where the "codes"such as they are can be pulled.BJ

so i ground the female and then switch the ignition on and read the codes? i assumed something on my emissions is clogged, and i know i need a new o2 sensor...

That is my understanding.As I said it usually is a pollution control issue causing the lite to come on so a bad 02 sensor will do it.Of course not having a gas cap will do it as well.Lol.BJ
