Do you have the power key on? Try with it off.
If it does not happen with the key off that is a data point
for going forward.

Easiest way to get codes out is with a scanner ($80 or so).
It's a good investment. Most parts stores will have them.
There is a way to read them out on the dash that involves
shorting two pins on the diag connector the turning the ign key on.
This is tedious but
if you want to one of us can post the procedure.
