The 1996 model is fully OBD-II and does not have the diagnostics port under the hood. Instead you must buy a code reader or go to autozone and get them to read your codes. The port is under that little coin holder thing to the front of the ashtray.

OBD-II port under the coin storage (the rubber part lifts up and out), under the ashtray.
