How to check engine light codes

First engine light at 187,000 miles. How can check which codes were tripped.
Is there an ignition key trick or do I have to get a reader?
2010, 3500, 6.7, 6 speed manual.
Thanks in advance.

Wow amazing you got that far without a CEL. I made it about 4500ml before I got my first in my 2011, anyway you need a code reader to reset them and the remote start won't work with a CEL on so why not pick one up on sale, I noticed one the other day for $28 Canadian. You can apparently turn the key.. on/off/on/off/on and it will display the codes the same as the old trucks used to.

It must be an OBD2 code reader which if it's new it will be.

Any auto parts store will read your codes for you for free. Most will not clear them.
