Holy molely guys the OP is new and from the sounds of it on vacation. I doubt he has the luxury to install and setup dis/gt1/inpa ect. A standard obd scanner may be the best thing he currently has access to while away from home.

OP, get the codes from a generic scanner (local auto parts stores like Autozone can scan the car for free) and post them here. Someone will be able to give some guidance.
