I have a ?98 Grand Voyager Expresso, 3.3 L. My check engine light is
on, but when I try the procedure above to illuminate the codes, I get
no response.

Three questions:

1. Is there a different procedure needed on a ?98 to reveal the codes?
2. If no codes are revealed, what is the most likely scenario?
3. Can I just turn the damn thing off?

Thanks in advance.
