How to Get OBD Codes -- 1998 Durango

Surely this has been posted, but I couldn't find it in a search. Is there a way to get the codes for the Check Engine light on a 1998 Durango, short of hooking up an OBD scanning tool? Is there a jumper or other method that will force the check engine light to flash out the codes to me? Thanks.

A simple code reader will scan for codes and most parts store sell them.Code readers are not that much money,most under a hundred dollars for a good one.
