i was told that under the stering cloum this is a block marked tray,my car does not have this maybe its because it a type ra or something ,its 1995 can some one point me in the right direction

 

Block? Tray? Eh?

Under the dash you should find two pairs of connectors that look like they fit together. One pair should be green and the others black.

Turn the ignition off, connect the black pair and turn the ignition on (i.e. don't start the engine!). The CEL will blink the numbers of any stored error codes. Long flashes for 10's, short flashes for 1's.

If there's more than one code stored, the numbers will be displayed sequentially, so make sure you get 'em all. Once done, turn the ignition off and disconnect the black plugs.
