I read how to get a led code from the ecu behind the right side kick plate ..

Do you have to take the ecu out ??

I dont see a actuator screw anywhere and the only led I see when the motor is running is at the front end of the box ??had to take a cover screw out and pry it open just to see that !!!

OOiy ..Isnt as easy as that post seemed ...

Anybody know the trick ?

the reason is because they figure the tech will have easy access to a consult, so theres no need for the code thing to be in the front.. The wires for the ECU need to be easily accessible for probing purposes...
