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.
Yeah I've heard of that with certain makes. Very well could be but with a 2005, 8 year old truck they didn't have the memory capacity like the newer models.I would think a brake problem :E would be flagged somewhere though.
Personally I've never thrown a CEL so I should not speak from experience.
