1g Cel Codes

[Booster-Shot]

The tool I ended up buying cost me a big whopping $6.00 at Radio Shack. It is a battery/alternator tester with 6 little LED lights on it and two test leads w/alligator clips.
I Hooked it up to pins 1 and 12, turned the key to 'on' and I was done. The LED was flashing my code. The tester tool was really small and it also had a magnet attached to the back so you can stick it close to where you are working. The little $6.00 tool made pulling my code entirely too easy to do and I highly recommend it for those of you with 1g DSM's (and I guess if I wanted to leave it plugged in I could monitor my engine for codes all of the time, I am only out $6.00 for it)

Alright I found this post while searching and decided to try it out. What does he mean by pins 1 and 12? I cant figure out where to hook the battery tester up to. I thought it was where the diagnostic connector is, but it didnt work. Can someone help me out? Thanks a lot.

The pins you are looking for are in the diagnostic connector (under the dash, driver side, far left side, close to the clutch pedal).

Pin 1 is the one in the top corner of the connector (sort of off by itself as compared to the other pins). This is where the RED wire on the tester goes... BLACK wire of tester goes to pin 12 (in the opposite corner at the other end of the connector).

You may have just been using the wrong pins?

Hope this helps someone out... If you need more info let me know.
