Key trick?

Someone mentioned the "key trick" for displaying codes. I'm going to look at my first dodge diesel tomorrow. What is the "trick", where do the codes display and where can I look to determine the code meanings?

Should I pass if there are ANY codes or are there just CERTAIN codes which should make me think twice.

Thanks again guys....

Shoulda done a bit more searching first - found the key trick. Found some codes on the web. Still need to know if there are any Killer codes which would be a deal breaker?

The codes you should watch out for are P0216 and I believe P0235. Those are VP44 death codes.

However, I wouldnt kill a deal because of them. Many trucks have displayed one of the codes and kept going for quite a while.
