All you need is an inexpensive OBD scanner (<$50) online. I've found the auto parts chain stores tend to have very over-priced scanners.

Some thing like this is fine - AUTEL MaxiScan MS309 Code Scanner Reader CAN OBDII OBD2 EOBD : Amazon.com : Automotive
The one' s they used at Advance and AutoZone were Actons, or Actrons. The little basic ones for about $30.00. They were plugged into the under dash port.
Nada! Said No signal, or no link to port ,or something.
Anyhow, I would like one that will tell me what's wrong and not just the codes. PIA to get a code and then having to look it up in something I don't have in the first place.

Thanks.
