You can get GM fault codes read for free at many auto parts stores, such as AutoZone, O'Reilly Auto Parts, or Advance Auto Parts, where they typically offer complimentary diagnostic services. Additionally, some local mechanics or dealerships may provide free code reading as part of a promotional offer. Many community colleges with automotive programs may also offer free diagnostics performed by students under supervision. Lastly, you can use a free OBD-II scanner if you have access to one, allowing you to read the codes yourself.

i am trying to find out the codes for a 1991 cadillac deville
Reading the codes in a GM is possible without a scantool only through the 1995 model year.
The check engine light is triggered by the vehicle's computer when a fault is sensed. Have your computer scanned for the trouble codes. An OBDII scanner will be necessary, there are some auto parts stores that will scan free of charge.
If you mean a GM vehicle that was built during the transition from OBD1 to OBD2, the answer is if it has a OBD port a scanner will work. GM MDI Tech 3 Interface is Dealer Level Diagnostic Tool for Multiple Brand vehicle: GM, Opel, Chevrolet, Saab from vipprogrammer.com
the is a conector under the dash on the driver side called a OBD2 conector. the is the port that is used to read troble codes. Take the truck to your local auto zone and get them to read the codes for you, then get them to give you the print out on the codes from there computer inside the store this will explane what is wronge. this procedure will only work if the check engine light is on.
GM plant codes are often referred to as "Cisco codes" due to a historical connection with the company Cisco Systems, which provided the networking infrastructure for GM's plant operations. The term has become synonymous with the codes used to identify different manufacturing plants and their specific operations within GM. This nomenclature reflects the integration of technology and manufacturing processes in the automotive industry.
No. I don't know the Taurus, specifically, but the OBD II standard does not provide non-computer access to codes, such as with the older GM CCC system using a jumper.
I don't think that there is a way, but I could be mistaken. However, most auto stores like Auto Zone, Checker, Kragen, etc. will read the codes for you at no charge. FriPilot
The ALDL port is located on the driver's side, under the dash. You will need a GM Tech1 (or compatible) scantool to retrieve codes from either a 1994 or 1995 Beretta. This is because GM was in a transitional period between 1993-1996 to comply with the government mandated OBD-II system. The diagnostic components in those years are a combination of OBD-I and OBD-II parts, and cannot be scanned with a standard scantool. Unfortunately, unless you know someone with such a scantool (GM Tech1, Actron CP9150, etc.), you will need to go to a GM dealer to have your codes read.
A Tech 2 scanner is the official scan tool required by GM dealerships to work on GM vehicles. It provides all the functions of less expensive scan tools but can also read "factory only" trouble codes and can reprogram the vehicle's computer.
