    use a paperclip and bridge pin 5 and 6 , light the ignition (do not start) and read the codes, (themo fan runs if done properly)
    code's blink 10's and 1's with a small pause (a larger pause indicates a new code) reapeting the 10's and 1's

    Mine never did, and the two other VS's I have checked didn't either. The VN we have does though. All V6's though.
