error code: how do you get them?

How could you get a read out of the error code from a 99 expedition?

Where does it come out? Do you need special tools or theres a reading there in the vehicle somewhere?

Pardon my ignorance on the matter.

I assume your talking about the service engine soon light.

Dealers and I would assume most car repair facilities can read them. I picked up an OBD-II code reader over the weekend for mine.

I hear some auto parts chains will read them for free. (dealers charge a fee).

As stated by ohioclint You should try your local autoparts stores such as Autozone, they usually scan the error codes for free. If not then its either the dealer or a reputable mechanic.
