What is the procedure to read / clear the Check Engine light on 96?

I'm looking for the procedure to read and then clear the Check Engine Light on my 96 Intrepid (3.5L). I know I can have Autozone read and clear the code but I'd like to be able to do it myself without driving 30 miles.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Easy....

Key on-off-on-off-on. Your check engine light will blink. Count the blinks. There will be a pause between the numbers. If it blinks twice, then a pause, then blinks five times....that's code 25. It shows codes in two digits so look for the pauses between. It will (or should anyway) end with a code 55.

By-the-way....

Without a OBDII or DRBII to erase codes, you'll have to disconnect the battery for a while!
