Default How do I check codes on the C6?

Just went to lunch. Hit the start button and the car didn't want to turn over for a few seconds. Like an old car in cold weather would act. Came back from lunch. It did it again and this time the check engine light came on.

I'd like to check the codes before I go to the dealership for warranty work. Thanks for the help.

Get an obd scanner from the local auto store. they are about 50 to 60 bucks. you can't read out the codes any other way.
