Tonight I was driving to the show (Tropic Thunder is damn funny BTW!) and the CEL came on. I haven't even driven it 500 miles!

Is there any way to check the code without the specific software? I know on some of the old ODB I cars, you could short two ports of the diag port and get the problem code. I don't think you can do that one ODBII cars, but I was just hoping.
