If the code was set by something that's cleared up now - intermittent problem - you can reset it by disconnecting the battery for a while. I don't remember how long, but I think I did it for around 15 minutes and it worked.
If you want to know what the code is, or if it won't clear, I believe that many of the parts houses can pull it for you, although I've never gone this route myself.
If all else fails, the dealer will pull it for you for a fee.

There is a large black plastic shroud around the steering column where it enters the dash.
If you lift the dash pod, you will observe that the steering column is enclosed in a large black sheet metal enclosure. The OBDII connector is attached to the right side of that metal enclosure box on a swivel mount 4" down from the edge of the bottom edge of the shroud. The apparent purpose of the swivel mount is to make it easier to connect from either above or below the dash.
Looking from above, with the dash pod open, you will see about six wires entering a small black piece of black plastic about the same size as the OBDII connector on your scanner (1-1/4" sq); although there is a blue plastic collar where the wires enter the receptacle. The receptacle itself is normally facing downward; and the end is protected with a slip-on plastic cap, so you won't see the receptacle pins until the cap is removed.
