If all you want is the typical powertrain codes for the engine and transmission, a basic OBD-II scanner will work very well. My personal favorite is the MS309, which you can get on Amazon for about $20.

Your car is OBD-II compliant, as is EVERY vehicle built for the NA market since 1996. Any OBD-II scanner will read codes, most will also clear them. The one I specifically pointed out (excerpted and quoted above) works great and is very inexpensive (it's also CANBUS compliant, though it's not going to do anything for the detailed chassis codes on your vehicle, nothing is going to do that until you get into the several-hundreds-of-dollars arena). If you just drop into a store to buy one you can expect to spend at least $50, though if you have a coupon Harbor Freight has one that is nearly the same as the MS309 for $40.
