On newer models, about 1997 and later, you need a diagnostic scan tool such as an OBDII that will connect to the engines control module. These are available for purchase at most auto parts stores, starting at around $60.
On some older models, you can cycle the ignition as follows to get fault codes:
Cycle the ignition twice from ON to OFF, then back to ON within 5 seconds. The check engine light will flash any two-digit codes that are stored in memory, starting with code 88 (8 flashes, followed by 8 flashes). When the list of codes is finished, code 55 will be flashed (5 flashes followed by 5 more flashes). A list of codes can be found in either a Chilton's or Haynes repair manual for your model year, or probably available from your Dodge dealer. Or, just ask above.
