I have started another thread asking for specific help with this, didn't know to call it a scanner though, what do you have ?
My main one that is kept in the garage is this one

This is a professional tool that allows me to interrogate Gearboxes, Air bags, and ABS braking systems among other things..
For your use and purpose I would suggest this one.

This will do pretty much everything you require. It shows not only the actual code number but displays the actual fault that it has detected.
I like Autel kit cos its great value for money but most importantly they are very simple and intuitive to use. You will be able to read the stored code and turn off the engine management light If it illuminated. It is this tool that lives in our van permanently.
A word of caution. All Autel kit is made in China. This is no bad thing. After all all Apple products are made there. But despite this there are copies ! A genuine tool will have a serial number stored in the menu. If its not there its a copy.
I have an Autel account so if you do go for that brand I can check out the serial number to ensure its a genuine item.
