Default DIC Code retrieval?

Is it possible to retrieve the DIC codes off a C6Z, or do I need a reader/scanner? From the searches I've done, it seems there's no way to get them without using a reader...I've get a CEL and want to know what the code is...

No one has described a method of retrieving DTCs from a C6 without a tuning software or a code reader.

It isn't. They removed that feature from all C6s. You need a CAN-enabled code reader to read the PCM codes, and a Tech-2 (or something similar) to read the rest of them.

You can call OnStar and they will run a diagnostic and tell you what the error is. They will even schedule an appointment with a dealer if you need it.

Sometimes they will give you the code but a lot of times they will not answer your question if you ask what the code is. Been there done that.
