I tried the method with the test light but I didnt get any light does the engine have to be running. I tried it with the key off and on. When I went to the part store his scanner kept saying to hook up DTC maybe that why my truck runns like it does. i am going to try jumping it the way Frederic said and see what happens

I just clicked in your post and it worked.
I think when your computer says the site had expired it has to do with your computer browser and not the site.
Try again.
