you really need a manual, it tells you how to do a lot of this stuff, most auto parts stores have them. If this car is pre 94, and I assume it is Quote BerettaGT/14ASEcerts

Refer to the black plug to the lt side of the steering column under the dash..... there are 2 tiny leters on it..."A" & "B". using a paper clip bent in a "U" shapestick each end in those two holes. AND quoting from the book now..."once the terminals "A" & "B" are connected, the ignition is turned to the "on" position, with the engine NOT running. At this point the "service engine soon" light should flash a code 12 three time consecutively. This should be the following sequence: "flash, pause, flash-flash, long pause, flash, pause, flash-flash, long pause,flash, pause, flash-flash." Code 12 indicates that the ECM's diagnostic system is operating properly. With the terminals still jumped, and after a long pause the next sequence of flashes should begin indicating the code present, and should sequence three times consecutively." Meaning if a a code 44 was present for a "lean O2 sensor" it would do the code 12 as described above, pause, then "flash-flash-flash-flash pause flash-flash-flash-flash, then long pause and will do it 2 more times. Code 45 for a rich O2, would be code 12 sequence of flashes, followed by (45) as in "flash-flash-flash-flash, pause,    flash-flash-flash-flash-flash. then repeats two more times. 4 flashes for the number 4, followed by five flashes for the number 5. Then you go to the diag section, and find Chris's topic "TROUBLE CODES" and look to see what code you have and the answer to what it signifies.
