Default C6 diagnostic codes

Anyone have the diagnostic codes for the C6?
How do you access them on the dash?
Thanks!!

Go to autozone. They will scan your car and print out the codes and descriptions for free.

There are lots of readers out there. For the C6 you need a reader which is ODB-II and CAN enabled. I have an Innova model 3100. It can read codes and erase them.They can be bought online for less than $100. Most auto parts stores sell code readers as well. Do a quick search to learn more and find them.

The code reader you buy should come with a list of the codes. However, if you want to do a diagnosis or trouble shoot the codes I would purchase a Helms factory service manual for the specific year of your C6.

I purchased an ACTRON CP-9180 for 140 bucks on the internet. It works great. Its able to read and display O2 sensor data. Theres a newer model out for a little more. This one works fantastic for our C5 & C6s!!
