Finding Fault Codes - myself
Before I take my 2013 427 vert to the dealer to diagnose an Engine Fault light can I get access to the codes myself. What can I purchase and then attach to the vehicle that will give me the codes?

Check your gas cap. A loose cap with throw a code and set the light as part of the EVAP system.
If you feel compelled to spend money, Google "OBD II Code Readers" and you'll find the sky is the limit, starting at ~$40 and going up to a couple thousand depending on system and other capabilities it may have. Some like EFI Live, some like AutoTap, some have other preferences.

After Zone said they cleared my code and walked back in the store while I noticed they didn't, I said I gotta get a CAN enabled one for my toolbox.
