CEL on, but no blinky light?
My CEL has been on in my '95 for a while now...decided to check codes using the instructions in the how-to, but the power light doesn't blink... it just sits there solid.
What am I doing wrong?? |

The check engine light is the one that blinks, not the power light. It blinks in sequences of long and short blinks.

Let's straighten things out. There are two different self check procedures, one to check ECU (engine) codes, the other to check TCU (transmission codes).
ECU - If your CEL light come on, you want to run this test. You use the blue test leads and the black plug behind the kick panel under the fuse box. It flashes the CEL. TCU - If your Power light flashes at start up, you want to run this test. You use the ignition switch and shift selector to enter the "read" mode. It flashes the power light.

Yep!
Yep! I'm checking engine codes, using the blue wire into the second from left hole in the black connector...and it's facing the correct way. In fact, I have checked codes before with success...it's just not working now unfortunately this time, I don't think I'm doing something wrong. Thanks for your help guys!

Any reason there wouldn't be any codes if the cel is on?
