Default How to get check engine codes?

Is there some way to get the codes to pop up on the dash,i got a check engine light and was wondering if there is a way to find out the codes.On my old car i could just turn the key 3 times and it would display the trouble code,is there a way to do that on the F-body(2002 camaro ss)....thanks in advance!!!

You need an OBDII scanner to check what is the error code causing the check engine light. Some of this gadgets let you erase them others dont. Autozone sells them. I have an Interceptor gauge that functions as a code reader and also can erase them.
