Default Throwing codes ?

I read here all the time about "throwing codes", but my owner's manual doesn't say squat in the "Dic Warning & Messages" section about "codes".

So, if I get one, is there an audible and/or visual message?, and how do I retrieve the "code" number?

Sorry if this an old question for you ol-timers, but the search function doesn't always work right.

No audibles or visuals...except maybe the "check engine" light which would be a pretty good reason to check what codes you're throwing.

Don't worry about asking. This question gets asked occasionally but no where near the frequency of stuff like "What color should I paint my calipers?" or "What exhaust sounds best?"

Here's a link that should be able to help you out

My pleasure
The fun part now is figuring out what the heck the codes mean and what to do to correct the problem
