Depends on the year...if it's an OBD1 car (typically before 1996) you can manually access the codes and find out what they are by watching the "check engine" light blink. If it's an OBD2 car, then no...you have to have a code reader. The good news is that many auto parts stores will read the codes for you for free. Just be careful listening to their diagnosis.
