Bummer, Some read after you clear the trip odometer, to read the
code from there. Then turn the ignition key to the on and off positions
(do not turn the key to the start position) within 5 seconds using this

diagnosis: http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/fault/ It may be worth it to
buy a code reader:
