That was an impressive run-on sentence. Break up using punctuation so it is easier to read.

The S light means that the TCU detected a problem. Many problems can cause that to happen. Short the service connector and read the code. The connector is a two pin connector that is blue. Use a thin paperclip or a piece of wire to short the connector.
