The infamous "Check Engine" light came on. Probably a sensor or something. Car runs fine. Who besides dealer has a meter to check the codes?
Thanks!

Many of the major national parts stores (Pep Boys, Auto Zone, Advanced Auto Parts) will read the codes for free on 96 and newer cars that use ODBC II. They just plug a meter into a connector under your dash, start the car and read off the codes. They may not necessarily know what the code refers to if its proprietary to the manufacturer.
