Yeah that's a dodge thing. Find the STI wire in the EEC test harness(single wire with grey connector) and ground it, turn the key to run and the codes should flash on the check engine light.

No Check Engine Light before 1988.

You will have to plug in a test lamp, or multimeter, to read the code flashes.

The Emissions lamp in the dash is not connnected to the STO (Self Test Output) on our 1980-1986 model trucks. Infact the Emissions lamp is useless because it's hooked up to a timer that has to be reset every 60,000 miles or so, if you have a problem or not.

Just a heads up...
