Need to read a Check Engine code on a 06 Fusion

Hey guys. Check engine light came on my car, and I need to get the code read. Should I take it into the dealer? Buy a code reader? Give someone a six-pack to use theirs?

Suggestions are appreciated, I suck at repairing cars.

Hopefully someone near you can lend you a hand, I'd read your codes for you yet I'm far from Surrey.

This code reader goes on sale for $30 sometimes, get one and keep it in your car.

Hopefully somebody has one and is kind enough to help you with a scan.

Otherwise, go out and buy your own scanner because some of them cost as much as a 6-pack.

Where in Surrey are you and How soon would you need the code read(and possibly cleared?)

I'm in the Guildford Area and I've got an SCT X3 that should be able to read the DTCs but I won't really be available until Saturday at the earliest.
