5. The code reader or scanner will display the trouble codes stored in the vehicle's computer.
6. Write down the trouble codes and look them up in a code book or online to find out what they mean.
Additional notes:
- Some code readers or scanners may require you to enter the vehicle's VIN number or other information before they can read the codes.
- If you do not have a code reader or scanner, you can take your vehicle to a mechanic or auto parts store to have the codes read for you.
