94 Jetta OBD code extraction?

I've read in the 94 Jetta owner's manual by Bentley that you can read the
error codes out by shorting a pin on the connector and turning on the
ignition switch and count the blinking of the Check Engine Light
indicator. I read this and was not able to make the indicator blink. Has
anyone had success using a similar procedure? If so, how did you do it?

Thanks, Ron

Not sure if these instructions would apply to a '94 Jetta (2.0 engine with
motronic, right?) but on my '91 GTI (Digifant I) you turn on the ignition,
connect the jumper, light comes on solid (I think...it's been a while), wait
about 5-10 seconds, remove jumper (did you remove your jumper wire?), and
the light will flash the codes.

To erase them, same procedure but you connect the jumper first before
turning on the ignition.
