Check Engine Light



I was wondering if there is a way to manually check the engine light codes without a code reader? I know other manufacturers have an ignition sequence to check the code.



Thank you

Nope. For an OBD-II CAN compliant car, code reader is the only way to pull the MIL codes. The older OBD-I systems, you could read them manually, as the codes were much fewer in number and messages were more generic (ie, two digit error codes could be flashed though a lamp to be read).
