Service Engine Light - High Pitch When Engine rev'd

Hi guys....

I'm searching the forums for similar problems but figured I'd post just in case.

I drove my car today and the Service Engine light stays on, start listening and notice a high pitch that only happens when I'm driving / reving engine.
Not easy to locate because I have no one around to step on the gas when I'm listening with the hood open.

I remember there was a way to check codes and computer software by turning the key a certain way. How do I check the code, and I'd also like to see if my software is up to date while I'm at it.

Thanks for any help.

Cant help you with the codes. Autozone will read them for you if you want though.

The whistling is probably air going past the throttle plate, normal.
