Friends, I borrowed a code reader from a buddy and plugged it into the plug under the steering column-all it shows is "no code" and gives RPM/MPG/etc info. Is there another location for a code reader to plug into?

 

dont know about the spot ur describing the , plug in should be below the thing in the middle that says this is not an ash tray , with red felt liner , theres an l shaped peice of plastic below that that will pull out and give u access

 

right below the coin place. next to heat seat control switch. the stick ur hand in there and pull the plastic L shape platic. u will find obdII reader port

 

Except the 03. That has it under the steering whee.

 

Is your CEL on?

 

All 03's have it under the steering wheel.
If it says no code & you don't have a CEL on then your ok.

 

fuzzy- not to sound ignorant, but what does CEL mean? Thanks. If it reads no code, and the VSA,ABS, and /!\ lights are on, doesn't that mean i only need to have something reset? Thanks.

 

Check engine light
With those lights on, sounds like your trans is shot.

 

CEL is NOT on. Shouldn't be the tranny, the lights came on directly after I broke the left front ABS speed sensor when replacing the steering knuckle....I installed a new one....

 

Kill your battery for 10 minutes then. Those lights should turn off if it was the speed sensor.

 

fuzzy, I did that weeks ago, did not help.
