I'd go ahead and buy a scanner but you can borrow or rent them at most auto parts stores.
Since most of the car's functions are computerized and use the CAN bus, a scanner is a very valuable tool for troubleshooting modern cars. You can find them at most auto parts stores for less than $50 to several hundreds, depending on how fancy they are. A $40-60 one will work quite well for most shadetree mechanics.
CAN.
Edit: Before you clear any DTCs, write 'em down.
