I got a 2014 Ram regular cab 4x4 ,5.7 hemi. 35000 miles. came out after work to fire up the truck and have a check engine light on! is there any way to retrieve the diagnostic code without plugging in a OBD reader?

Thanks Limechallenger

 

Did the Ram start, or is it stranded? If it starts fine you could drive to a local auto parts store (assuming there is one near you) and they can pull generic OBD-II codes at no charge.

Chrysler used to have a means of displaying diagnostic codes via a sequence of turning the ignition key on and off, but I'm not sure they still do that. It would be more difficult with the push button start as well.

Yes the truck started and seems to be running fine,I just was looking for a way to check codes myself.

 

A Bluetooth code reader that talks to a phone app is about $20.

 

Nice, thats a good idea! I'll check into it!
