How in the world do I pull the "check engine" code's?!?!

My wifes '94 had one pop up yesterday and the "chiltons" book tells you everything on how to do it, but doesnt show you which terminals they're talking about in order to hot wire it and use the "check engine" light as the code giver. (Count the flashing of the check engine light)
I hope I explained this right so you all out there understand what I just said here.

Re: How in the world do I pull the "check engine" code's?!?!

Here is a link to the list of codes.

http://www.ford-tech.com/articles.php?articleId=31

To test using the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) on the dash (Engine Light) use a jumper wire to connect the signal return pin on the diagnostic connector to the Self-Test Input (STO) connector. The self test input line is the separate wire and connector with or near the diagnostic connector. Codes are transmitted with a pause between flashes. Code 32 would be sent as 3-flashes, a pause and then 2-flashes. A slightly longer pause separates the codes. The only way to repeat the code is to recycle the system. The Continuous Memory Codes are separated from the other codes by 6-seconds, a flash and then another 6-second delay.

(1) Start the engine and run it until normal operating temperature is reached.
(2) Turn the engine OFF and wait 10 seconds.
(3) Turn the ignition switch ON but don't start the engine.
(4) The codes will be transmitted. Six to nine seconds after the last code, a single separator pulse will be transmitted. Six to nine seconds after this pulse, the codes from the Continuous Memory will be transmitted.
(5) Record all service codes displayed. Do not depress the throttle during the test.

Thanks for the speedy reply!
I have a few more questions for you though, where is the diagnostic connector and the self input connector at? I know theres a harness underneath the passenger side dash board there, but how do I know which wires are which? like color codes to tell me or which ever?

Re: How in the world do I pull the "check engine" code's?!?!

You keep asking the same question all over the forum don't you? So the answer again is:

And as it's not a 'vette so the engine check light flash system isn't used.

cool Re: How in the world do I pull the "check engine" code's?!?!

Yep sorry about that, I had responded to you right after you first helped me on this topic and I'm guessing you never had the chance to see the response, so instead of continuing to ask you on this topic here and try and get your attention again, I posted another topic which was the same topic as this one so I could get your attention once again for you to have the oppertunity to help me once again.
You sound erritated and I'm sorry about rubbing you the wrong way here, I just wanted to get some info so I can hush my wifes vocal concerns about her car, I wont bother you again but I really do appriciate you going out of your way posting those graghs for me, I'm going to save them in my "document's" right now.
Once again Mahalo for your much appriciated help.
