If your vehicle is 1995 or later, you will need a scanner to retrieve the trouble codes. There are auto parts stores that provide computer scans as a free service. If your car is earlier than 1995, the codes can be retrieved manually, but you will need a manual for instructions and to know what each code means. Manuals (Haynes or Chilton) are available for $11 - $14 at most auto parts stores. Or you can check at your local public library to see if there is one available for checkout.
