Most auto part stores will pull your codes for free. If you threw a CEL it threw a code.
Many auto parts stores use a limited capability code reader and may not be able to pick up all error codes. Secondly in our recent situation with a intermittent dash light indication of an ABS failure even the Ford dealer could only locate the error code if it was present at the time of the check. Apparently the ABS error code isn't stored. The Auto Parts stores were not able to read it at all.
The parts stores may not be able to pull the ABS codes but if the light comes on there is a code in the ABS side. You can't pull the engine codes to get them, you have to go into the ABS side. I take care of 5 of these trucks. I have a hand held Genesis scan/diagnosis tool.
