First you remove the cover from the diagnostic port under the driver's side of the dashboard. Then you plug the datalink cable from your scan tool into the diagnostic port. The scan tool will then show the diagnostic codes. Write them down and read a manual to see what has gone wrong.

Codes for check engine light'?

Check engine light codes, known as Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), are alphanumeric codes generated by a vehicle's onboard diagnostic system when it detects an issue. These codes can indicate a wide range of problems, from minor issues like a loose gas cap to more serious engine or emissions system failures.
