If the car is a federal version?? not California? then there aren't any codes to be read!

IF the car is a California version, then you will have a LED & button on the diagnostic connector.

Most common reason for check engine lamp on a federal version is the O2 sensor or slightly mis-adjusted fuel mixture.
