I thought one of the auto parts chains had a deal where they would help you pull codes so they could get your parts business. Might want to check it out. Seems AutoZone rings a bell on that.

Yes, Autozone will read your codes free of charge. I had this done this week for check engine light.

Here's how, and you'll also find a link to my code list there. All you need is a paperclip & ~5min.

Look in the Fuel & Exhaust chapter, Sec. 4-14.
