Any auto parts store will scan the codes for free. Just get the codes then google the codes and you will find what they mean. I personally have a BlueDriver bluetooth OBDII scanner, but if you don’t have an OBDII then your only option is an auto parts store to scan them for you for free or buy your own.

Code scanners are cheap enough now that I keep one in each car. I have several of these. It is nice to be able to pull codes right away to see if it is something that needs urgent attention. It is also nice to clear the code to see if it comes again or if it was a one time fluke or mis-fire, etc.....

yeah so it was for the O2 sensor right before the catalytic covertor cleared it if it comes up again I’ll probably just replace it
