The C6 requires a CAN enabled code reader or the Dealer Tech 2. You can't pull codes without one or the other. On Star is no help, they won't give you the alpha-numerical code, just a vague desciption of the problem and tell you to take it to the Dealer.

go to a walmart and buy a code reader, or go to the dealer or some auto stores do it for free

The C6 DOES have OBD2, it's just that the codes can't be read or re-set in the car without specific electronics.

So us DIYers have to take it to GM or buy a code reader.

Yup - but the reader is cheap. One of the first things that I bought - haven't had to use it - knock on wood.

But the inexpensive code readers you buy only read the ECM. If you have BCM issues it won't help.
