DLC/Check Engine light refuses to obey my command! 700 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be Ryan M. on  Tue May 15 14:21 CST 2001 [RELATED]

While I will never win the coveted "Sharpest Knife in the Drawer" Award, I know how to follow instructions. In this case, I'm trying to extinguish my CE light after cleaning some connections (AMM and such).

With the male wire end in socket #2, I press and hold down the DLC button for 5 seconds and release. Theoretically, at this point, the red LED light should come back on, then I should press it again for another 5 seconds and release, and this should clear the light and sensor. I've a pretty good idea that I'm on the right track, as this worked swimmingly with the male wire end in socket #6. But when I hold down the button for 5 seconds and release....nothing, no LED, no blinking, no nothing. What gives? Am I doing something wrong? Fault codes 2-3-2 and 1-2-1 still remain. Most frustrating.

Thanks in advance for any input.
