It stands for Dash Integration Module
i am trying to find out the codes for a 1991 cadillac deville
Reading the codes in a GM is possible without a scantool only through the 1995 model year.
The check engine light is triggered by the vehicle's computer when a fault is sensed. Have your computer scanned for the trouble codes. An OBDII scanner will be necessary, there are some auto parts stores that will scan free of charge.
If you mean a GM vehicle that was built during the transition from OBD1 to OBD2, the answer is if it has a OBD port a scanner will work. GM MDI Tech 3 Interface is Dealer Level Diagnostic Tool for Multiple Brand vehicle: GM, Opel, Chevrolet, Saab from vipprogrammer.com
the is a conector under the dash on the driver side called a OBD2 conector. the is the port that is used to read troble codes. Take the truck to your local auto zone and get them to read the codes for you, then get them to give you the print out on the codes from there computer inside the store this will explane what is wronge. this procedure will only work if the check engine light is on.
I don't think that there is a way, but I could be mistaken. However, most auto stores like Auto Zone, Checker, Kragen, etc. will read the codes for you at no charge. FriPilot
No. I don't know the Taurus, specifically, but the OBD II standard does not provide non-computer access to codes, such as with the older GM CCC system using a jumper.
The ALDL port is located on the driver's side, under the dash. You will need a GM Tech1 (or compatible) scantool to retrieve codes from either a 1994 or 1995 Beretta. This is because GM was in a transitional period between 1993-1996 to comply with the government mandated OBD-II system. The diagnostic components in those years are a combination of OBD-I and OBD-II parts, and cannot be scanned with a standard scantool. Unfortunately, unless you know someone with such a scantool (GM Tech1, Actron CP9150, etc.), you will need to go to a GM dealer to have your codes read.
A Tech 2 scanner is the official scan tool required by GM dealerships to work on GM vehicles. It provides all the functions of less expensive scan tools but can also read "factory only" trouble codes and can reprogram the vehicle's computer.

ETS is the traction control system. If you want it, you simply push the button to turn it on... you may have hit it inadvertently.. I used to own a 99 Grand Am (another GM product) and constantly did the same thing. Or it could be a fault in the ETS system. As for the check engine light, the first thing you do is find out the cause of it. You can go to any auto parts store and have them read the fault codes with their OBD2 scanner.
