How do I check the codes for what's wrong? It's an 02 model and about 101,000 miles. Thanks.

Take to your local auto parts store, Checker, Autozone, etc. most of them will check the codes for you for free, then you can go from there.

Thanks. Isn't there also a way to reset the computer to turn the engine light off and see if it comes on again? I remember reading something about disconnecting the negative of the battery for 30 seconds and the engine light will go off upon reconnection.
