From Pelican Auto (I did this on my old OBDI Bimmer)

"To read codes for an OBD I car, you start by turning the ignition key on (do not start the engine) and pressing the gas pedal to the floor five times within a period of five seconds. If you proceeded correctly, then the check engine lamp will light on for five seconds, then blink off, then blink on for 2.5 seconds, and then go off for another 2.5 seconds. After this, the computer will start to show you the trouble fault codes that are stored."

"Auto Zone" will scan and reset the computer for you at no charge, or they have a scan tool for $60.
