plug it in to the slot underneath the steering wheel....youll see it and then just follow what it tells you to do

Actually Autozone will do it for you.They will come out to the car and do the test for you.

Pay attention and write down the codes that they get so you can come back here and do some homework as to what is wrong and what the codes mean.

Now even though they should do the test for you.Pay attention how they do it (it is not difficult),because in the long run you should buy a code scanner of your own.That way if you need to read codes and you can't drive the car to Autozone,you will be set.

They have a cheap actron scanner for like $50 or so...very simple but gets you what you need to know.

Good luck.
