Default Need Help Pith Paperclip Trick
If anyone has done it and can help, that would be awesome. I have a 2001 and have tried it a couple times with no luck.

Remember 49'rs. Short pins 4 and 9 and turn the ignition to on.

4 and 9 is MUCH easier than trying to ground using a screw and wire.

I saved my "custom" paperclip for the next time I need to read a CEL. Thanks for you help!

You may want to get a cheap-o scanner. The blink codes are nice, but a scanner can tell you the exact code. Some of the blink codes are general.
