Unless you're in California. You can also do this which I would recommend if you're going to pull data on a regular basis (and not just codes).

No, not on obd-2. A scanner is the only way I know of to get codes.

Harbor Freight sells an OBD II code reader that reads codes only, but will not scan to see the operating values from the sensors as you can with a full blown scanner. It sells sometimes for $39.95 and sometimes for $49.95.

WORD!!
With the combination of the $49 Harbor Freight scanner and CEG, you can't lose. Helped me diagnose my problem real quick. It will save you money the first time you use it, get it.

there is no way of getting if from your radio o such like some other old car you had... you need a code scanner. without one you are not gonna get anything... go to auto zone and this time dont reset the codes before it is checked or you gonna erase the codes in the computer memory and they will not show up....
