To retrieve trouble codes from a 1989 Pontiac Sunbird, you need to use the onboard diagnostics system. Start by turning the ignition key to the "On" position without starting the engine. Then, locate the diagnostic connector, usually found under the dashboard near the steering column, and use a jumper wire to connect terminals A and B. After doing this, the check engine light will flash a series of codes that you can then decode using a service manual or online resources to identify any issues.
