Frankly, before paying $100 to have someone clear it, check around - you can buy a cheapie code reader/scanner for way less than that. Search for "OBD-II scanner" - you'll get tons of hits. Amazon and eBay are a couple of good places to look.

Good advice Bill. Even if you can't fix the fault yourself you'll have a real good idea what's wrong when you take it in for repair. You'll find out real fast if you can trust your service people.
