Most of the time, codes for non-OBD-II cars can be pulled without a scanner. You usually have to short two terminals on the diagnostics plug under the hood, and then turn the ignition key to ON (without starting the engine). The CEL will blink out the code (like five flashes, a pause, and three flashes for a code 53). The service manual should tell you how to do it.
