yes u can check the code with something as simplewas a paper clip or a wire with two bare ends------just like timber said -----e1 and te1----than count the flashes and report back.

And there is no way a worn brake pad can cause a check engine light to throw.

Possible codes:
code 404: code not found, or

code 101: WTF is this ****??

pads COULD throw a brake light though (as in the E-brake light)
