I have a code reader.

It doesn't hook up to a PC, it is a stand alone unit. They sell several like it on Ebay for about $60.
The codes on it can be kinda vague.

I've only really needed it once, though.
Turned out to be a Power Steering sensor which took $12 and 30 minutes to replace.
Took longer for me to figure out what the code meant. Luckily some people posted the code and how they fixed it, and a google search found those posts.
