Why not call the dealership and see what they charge to scan your car? I'm not sure what they charge these days. However I do know that the cost to fix the problem will only be known after you have it scanned.

Depending on location. Places like Advanced Auto will let you use their scanner for free. Pull the code and buy whatever part that needs to get fixed and do it yourself.

Auto zones sell obd2 readers for 55$. You can find out what the codes mean from google. Just type in the code. All codes are universal.
