Hi mate, you dont need one if you wish to read and clear codes. The CE is not OBD2 compliant and a standard scanner will not suffice. Here is a guide for reading the codes without a scanner.
You can read it in full HERE
Connect pin 1 (terminal 1) to ground (ground is pin 4 and/or pin 5) you can use a paper clip. and then count the flashes on the check engine light on the dashboard.
1. Ground Data Link Connector terminal # 1. pin4 and pin5 are ground. (so you can connect pin 1 and pin 4 with a paperclip or short wire)
2. Set the ignition switch to "ON", the Malfunction Indicator (check engine) Lamp will illuminate for a particular duration and a certain number of times.
3. Clear the trouble codes by disconnecting the vehicle battery negative terminal for 16 seconds or longer. EXAMPLES
No Codesnormal
The Lamp will illuminate for 0.5 seconds, then stay Off for 0.5 seconds, this pattern will repeat until the ignition is turned OFF.
Code 13
The Lamp will illuminate one time for approximately 0.5 second. This will represent one unit of ten. There will be approximately a one second delay and then the Lamp will illuminate three times for approximately 0.2 seconds with 0.2 second delay between deflections. This will represent three units of one.
Code 23
The Lamp will illuminate two times for approximately 0.5 second with approximately 0.3 second delay between deflections. This will represent two units of ten. There will be approximately a one second delay and then the Lamp will illuminate three times for approximately 0.2 seconds with 0.2 second delay between deflections. This will represent three units of one..
Clearing Trouble Codes
Diagnostic trouble codes may be cleared by disconnecting the battery ground cable for at least 20 seconds. Reconnect negative battery cable and recheck codes to confirm the repair.
