You won't find a sticker or label saying "P0102." To retrieve the code, you need to use one of these methods:
* OBD-II Scanner: This is the most common and reliable way. Plug a scan tool (available at auto parts stores) into the OBD-II port (usually located under the dashboard) and the scanner will retrieve the code(s) stored in the PCM.
* Check Engine Light and Flashing Codes (Less Reliable): Some older vehicles might allow you to retrieve codes by monitoring the Check Engine Light's flashing patterns, but this is less precise and more prone to error. Your 1998 van likely requires a scanner.
Therefore, while the *information* about the P0102 code is in the PCM, the code itself is accessed electronically using a scan tool, not visually found on a physical component.
