that voltage is good

to perform a KOER/KOEO test you will need a scan tool

there is a sticky somewhere on how to do it without a scanner but its a pain and its not gunna tell you what the code means.

this is what u do.. since autozone only scans if u got a check engine light. go there, and in the parking lot, unplug the MAF sensor. this will trigger a CEL. have them scan it, obviously its gunna say the MAF signal is bad but it should also tell u the other codes.

goodluck

the EEC-IV plug is located near the wiper motor on the firewall, drivers side.

Scan tools are available at wal-mart for around $40, well worth the money.

On the SN95's it's located on the passenger side shock tower.
