The 97's also use the key on off on off on sequence. The only difference is
that the codes show up in the electronic odometer as a number, no more
flashing lights.

I do have a '96 and I can positively verify that it *DOES* work! Any
other '96 owners care to verify?? (John, Tom, Lee, Tony, who else am I

whether MP has any comments on this issue.
