Go to your local auto parts store, and have them read the codes.

Auto parts place said only a dealer can scan that. I've got the same problem. They wanted 70 bucks just to scan it. Said screw that it doesn't bother me that much. 70 bucks just to plug in a scanner, i wish i worked at a dealer.

Find an independent shop with a scanner, they will be either a lot cheaper, or, maybe even free.

Last time I checked "AutoZone" would plug In their code reader for you, for free. At least they did for me. Lol. Good luck!

For engine codes and such. Not sure about ABS, or Air Bag.

That's true. Last time I had a issue with a vehicle the dealership did a complete diagnostics for less than $100.
