If your car was manufactured before 1996, an OBD I scanner is required.
If your car was manufactured 1996 or after, it requires an OBD II scanner.
Scanners/code readers can be purchased at any auto parts store for between $50 and $300. The professional type scanners/programmers used at dealerships and such cost several thousand dollars and generally require software modules as well for the particular brand of car in question.

As long as you can get the car to power up (the lights and accessories come on in the RUN/Battery position), you can plug in a diagnostic scanner in and retrieve fault codes.

In this case, you need to find out why the car isn't getting power before you can use the computer to diagnose any problems.
