Code getter question?

Code getter question?
My check engine light comes on quite often on my 2001 volvo s40, and to have volvo diagnose it they want $200. I hear that I can get a code puller from Autozone. Now my question is: if I pull my codes with a code getter what do I do next? How or what do I compare my codes to to find out why my check engine light is coming on? Thanks

RE: Code getter question?
Autozone will plug it in & tell you what codes are coming up on the spot. Shouldn't have to rent. At least you don't here in TX. You can search on internet for Volvo DTC codes & go through the results until you find one that will give summary of possibilities that will point you in the right direction. Be aware that just because you have the code & where it came from, there may be 100 reasons that it got the code unless it is just general failure of a sensor. If you get a code from a certain sensor, there may be upstream or downstream problems making the sensor throw the code.
