Actron scanners can be had at most auto parts stores and the lesser expensive ones ($65-$85) have a book that's included where you can look up the code. Then when you find out what the code means you can hit x5world and find the fix. Or you can buy the really expensive scanners that have the "book" of codes intergrated and tell you what the code means. Still have to hit the boards though (for a DIY). Cheers!
