First time truck owner

I've got a 99 chevy 1500. If my fuel pump goes out would that make my check engine light come on

If you don't have a way to scan for codes you can take it to somewhere like autozone and they will scan it for you. Report back with the exact code.

Pick you up a cheap obd11 scanner for $20 at walmart. It wont give you that much data but will at least give you a starting point with the code that its throwing. From there you can research typical symptoms and see if yours is doing the same thing etc. What is the issue with the truck? symptoms? You can also test your fuel pressure at the fuel rail to determine if the pump is doing its job or not.
