94 e420 check engine light LED issue

Hello, I am new to this site and somewhat new to the gas benz world. My check engine light came on last week with no noticable symtoms. I tried to check and reset the code using the built in LED. The instructions I was following was to turn the key to the on position, hold down the button for 2-3 seconds and it is supposed to flash the code. When I turn the key to on, the LED is on continuously, and the button does nothing. I am in the proccess of building the radio shack code scanner, but shouldn't I be able to get the diagnostic module codes from the built in LED? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Will John

the LED is on continuously when the key is turned to the on position. Do I need to be trying this with the key in a different position?

NO

The lite only comes ON when the button is pressed and the key is ON

See if you have 12v at pin 16 and ground
