Can't be done.
W/ C5 yes, C6 no.
Need a code reader, they've become very inexpensive; however, only allow reading upper tier codes.
The other deeper codes require an OBDII, IIRC there're clones being marketed for much less $ than the official reader.

Thanks for latest info, will order via ebay. Reason for asking is my UK 2007 C6 auto is intermittently holding onto 5th and not changing to 6th, paddle shift change to 6th ok.

OTOH if you're troubleshooting skills are solid and know how to trace the issue yourself, wishing you luck.
Might even consider asking Edd China, via his uTube channel.
Guy's pretty sharp, heard he actually does help enthusiasts who email him or even call.
Got to discover the source of issue first though, and for tranny guessing the industrial-strength reader will be required.
Just curious, didn't mention miles so have to ask has/if the tranny fluid's ever been changed?
It is a 2007, 11 years old already.
Usually slipping's the most pronounced symptom w/ worn/burned fluid vs a hard shift between a specific set of gears, though.

for my vehicles I use a bluetooth OBDII adaptor and the app called Torque pro. so far it's been great . scan for code, click on it and it searches web for most likely cause and remedy, and it allows you to reset the code. adaptor was like $25 on amazon, app was $5 for pro version. has realtime guage monitoring as well that displays on your cell phone. Although, i don't think it's available for iOS
