GMC Yukon Check Engine light
So I recently purchased a 2003 Yukon XL SLT and a little while later the CE light came on. Here in california you can't borrow the code reader from autozone anymore...any ideas how to retrieve those codes? i'm definitely a do-it-yourselfer and won't take it to the dealer/shop.

I just moved to Texas and I can't get the car inspected and then registered unless these problems are all fixed. Any ideas out there about what's going on? When I take it to the shop what should I be looking out for? The car is serviceable, but I'd hate to dump $2-3000 into it. I don't know any of the mechanics in Texas, so I have no way of knowing if they are going to try to take me for a ride.
Appreciate the help.
The "service engine soon" light has been coming on intermittently for 3 years. GM dealer said I needed a new catalytic converter, which at that time was over $1000. (I think since then cheaper aftermarket options have came out, but the truck continues to run fine, including the same gas mileage so I can't see replacing it). The light didn't even come on for 2 mo, now it just popped back on again. Very frustrating.
I had a weird electrical problem for a while, with some interior lights going off and a fuse that kept blowing. I didn't want to pay a small fortune to have it tracked down. FINALLY I located it to the drivers power door lock, which seemed to have a little resistance. Lubricating that door lock solved the whole problem.
I guess if the car is running OK, I'd try one more mechanic, getting a quote on what the "diagnostic" price will be. Maybe you just have a short somewhere.
