Yes. Here is how you can pull the code(s) yourself if you need to. Please post if you have any problems when performing this procedure. I do not know for sure that this procedure works.

Scott where in the hell did you come up with that procedure? I know thats not in the service manual. This is the second time I have seen that procedure but havnt heard of it being succesfully used.maxhopper97 wrote:

Make sure engine is off, and gas pedal is completely released.Turn the key to the “Ignition” position (but do not engage the starter), and wait 3 secondsPress the gas pedal all the way to the floor, then release completely - Repeat this process 5 times in 5 seconds.Wait 7 seconds, then press the gas pedal all the way to the floor, and hold for 10 seconds.When the SES light begins flashing, release the gas pedal.At this point the SES light will blink a 4 digit code (0 = 10 flashes), pausing briefly between digits, and pausing slightly longer between codes. Any stored codes will continue to repeat themselves.Once you have written down all the stored codes proceed to clear the computer.Press and hold the gas pedal all the way to the floor for more that 10 seconds.When the SES light starts flashing again release the gas pedal.The SES light should flash 10 times, pause, 10 times, pause, 10 times, pause, and 10 times.Turn the key to the “Off” positionWait 3 seconds, and start the car.
ive tryed this 2 seperate times and it never works, i will do it exactly how u said and cant get the SES light to flash, am i doing it wrong on something?maxhopper97 wrote:

Turn ignition switch on and wait about 3 seconds. Repeat the following steps (2a and 2b) procedures quickly five times within 5 seconds.2a. Fully depress the accelerator pedal (HARD).2b. Fully release the accelerator pedal.3. Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for approx. 10 seconds until the CEL starts blinking. (here is where i think you can get a code from this.)4. Fully release the accelerator pedal (while the CEL is still blinking)5. Wait about 10 second.6. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for more than 10 seconds.7. Fully release the accelerator pedal (The CEL light will continue to blink).8. Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position and now you can start the car. The CEL light should be gone.
Hope this helps.
i tryed that one as well and still samethingmaxhopper97 wrote:Try this one instead of the procedure in the first post.
