First you remove the cover from the diagnostic port under the driver's side of the dashboard. Then you plug the datalink cable from your scan tool into the diagnostic port. The scan tool will then show the diagnostic codes. Write them down and read a manual to see what has gone wrong.

Diagnostic codes are generated by your on-board computer. They tell you what problems the computer has identified with your engine. The codes are numbers.

What would cause the check engine light to stay on on a 1996 Geo Tracker and the code to say EGR malfunction when the EGR valve is new?
After replacing the EGR valve, use the diagnostic tool and erase codes then read the codes again. I had the same problem on my 97 geo metro. After replacing the egr valve, the check engine light stayed on. After a while it was suppose to clear itself but it didn't. So I went to autozone borrowed their diagnostic tool, erased the codes and then my car passed and the check engine light went off.
