It should look like this and will be under the dash, below the steering wheel.
Trust me....it'll be there.
Short together terminals 5 and 6 with a paper clip or a bit of thin wire.
Use a torch, as it can be a bit hard to see sometimes, where to insert the wire.

Yep thats the one. Although your going to need an ALDL cable to actually read out the codes.

Yeah same, I only know about getting the faults using a proper diagnostic cable.

I dont know if this would help buy you can view some trouble codes by
1: Pressing and Holding down the 'Mode' and 'Set' buttons while you turn the ignition on
2: Cycle through the different display and you can view a bunch of trouble codes there.
it is the second last menue item before the Dash test function.
Cheers
