I came across this while surfing the web.. It is really cool, it allows you to deisplay saved fault codes from your car without the need of any special reader. All you do is count the check engine light flashes. Check it out..

It's nice, but thise method (I'm pretty sure) only works with OBD I vehicles (95 and down). All US vehicles made after 95 were equipped with OBD II diagnostics which required a standardized scan tool.

I know how to get the computer to display the codes, but I don't get how to decipher them. Can anyone help me?
