Take it to Autozone, etc. and have them pull the codes for you. They will usually do it for free or loan you the tool.

You can buy a simple OBDII reader for under $100 anywhere. That will allow you to read codes and reset simple things.

Or you can spend +/-$300 for a Durametric and really tunnel in to Porsche specific issues. You will need a laptop that meets their requirements for it to work. It is a software and cable package. Diagnostic Tool for Porsche | Durametric

Get the codes and then use the search function to do some background reading and then follow up with questions. Good luck.
