Many auto parts stores will read the code for free, they may give you a
printout of what the problem may be.

Its not programmed to happen (as far as I know only Honda does that).
As the other poster mentioned, take it to autozone or similar and they
will read the code for you. Make sure you get the actual code number
from them as many times the generic problem description their reader
provides is not enough to pinpoint the actual problem. If you post
the number, someone can probably tell you what it might be.
