troubleshooting codes
is it "ecu" code? and where do i look for these? i want to check mine but dont know how to do this. the manual doesnt say, unless i missed it once or twice.
in the stickey it shows somebody using a flathead to set it to self diagnose. but where's this box found in my car? when i turn the screw what happens? thanks

Its behind the center of the dash (radio,ash tray, etc) on the floor/hump.
This link should be all you need...

After following the directions there and nothing happens than this is a good thing assuming that your Check Engine/ Service Engine Soon light isn't blown out.
Otherwise it will show SES/CEL will start blinking like a SOS code. First it will do long blinks and then short blinks.

no, no check engine light, no problems realy. i just want to try it and see what happens. its realy hard to get in there with a screw driver, i have a micro screwdriver. is it safe to unbolt the computer unit so i can get at it?
also i was wondering, because i have a very tiny wobble i think on my front right, would the ecu tell me anything? i dont know where the sensors are, if it wher a tire problem then im sure it wouldnt but maybe an axle problem or CV problem? my tires are at 40% rear and 30% front. thanks guys
