You have to jump the ecu their is a blue plug on the passanger side under the dash use a paperclip or a piece of wire and jump the plug and the check engine light will flash the code on the dash

dont just go buy a new one, confirm what the problem is before you pull out the wallet. check your VSS connections and make usre they are clean and secure in place.
