This is how you get codes on an OBDI Jimny - the monitor coupler is behind the glove box, you insert a jumper wire (#4) in to the connector so that it connects the diagnosis terminal (#3) to ground (#2) and then switch the ignition on, the check engine light should flash.
If the ECU detects no faults it should flash a "Code 12", which is one flash, followed by a short pause and then two flashes, followed by a long pause, and this will repeat.
Some codes, like the #42 for the cam position sensor are not detected unless the engine is cranked, so if you get a code 12, crank the engine with the jumper wire in and then look at the flashes before switching off to see if they have changed.

If the car has an immobilizer, you might see 8X codes.
