Where is the ECM Module located so I can hook up a code reader to figure out why this check engine light is on?

Hi from Adam in NYC

It does not quite work that way.

The ECU had several designs including an OBD 1 prior to 95 and then 96 - on a OBD 2. It helps to know which model you have.

Prior-95 : You need a special display hidden in the passenger seat.

96-on: You have to look at the kick panel for the drivers position. You will see a data plug in which you will need a OBD2 code reader.

Get a fully-featured one or better yet get a CarChip F/X . That will do two functions. One is that you can log your vehicle performance. Second is that it will double as a codereader using a personal computer or laptop.

You can also reset your check engine light with the CarChip F/X. You can get it for cheaper thru eBay.

PS If you have a 96-on D1, the ECU is next to the antenna beside a vinyl box in the engine compartment.
