If READING the codes (not resetting the ECU), then it's ONLY the BLACK "Read" connectors that are joined together.... Leave the GREEN "Test Mode" ones UNCONNECTED. You've defo done this, yes?!

Phew, what a relief! 'Cause if you'd have said that you had only had the blacks together, then I wouldn't know what to suggest...

Well, the suspense is killing me - did it work?! Any codes?

Why are you checking for codes? (I take it the CEL never came on). Are you just being curious?

If nothing's wrong, then as mentioned, you shoud get constant, equal 0.5sec on/off flashes.

If any codes crop up, then it's slow flashes for the 'tens' digit and faster flashes for the 'units' digit.

As an example, if code '23' comes up (MAF sensor, I think), then it should flash slowly twice (for the '2'), then flash faster for three times (the '3').
