He can always go to autozone or the equivalent and they will pull the code for free for him... At least they do here anyways.

I think you my be able to get em if its an OBD-II car. I know the Data Scout can for sure do any OBD-II car and data log it also.

If by "Sniper" you mean Recon, the answer is no. It is a Ford EEC-V based product. Sniper's (Delta Force) OBD2 Data Scout can read all vehicles.

But frankly, for just pulling DTCs the easiest way is to pick up a cheap hand-held universal tool. I have a higher-end Actron unit, however Harbour Frieght has one (click here, and don't let the "CAN" part fool you) for $60--often on sale for $40--that is quite competent for just pulling DTCs...
