Default How do i check my engine light codes?

I forget the key cycle for checking my codes. I live in a rural area so I don't really want to run to auto zone if I can help it. Any help would be great, thanks!

Give this a try.

To check your engine codes:

-Turn the key to ON (not start), OFF, ON, OFF, ON and leave it there.
-If you look in the odometer window the codes will flash any code(s) with a small delay between each result. Each code should be in a P#### format, and will say PDONE when completed - turn your key to OFF and remove. Use the OBD code list to determine what problem the computer detected.

Do you still have the Superchips Cortex? It has a code reading function.
