Default How To??? Display diagnostic/check engine codes

Is it possible to display the codes on 2008 c6 without buying interface.

I found the codes in the FAQ but I'm missing how to display them. Thought I read in the past but can't find. Pressing option or fuel multiple times or??????

Do I need OBDII can compliant interface to read? If So is there a recommended one?

No, you cannot display them on the C6 without a code reader/scanner. Others here will have to tell you which one you need.

OBD-II CAN bus enabled will do it. Wally World, most Auto Parts and Amazon.com has them $60--$75.
