If there are, your dealer should have no issue checking it out. You can also reset the codes if it's something silly like the gas cap.

I doubt the codes for the top will show up in a standard code reader. They're not going to be the standard OBDII codes, and may not even be stored in the ECU. There's another module that controls a lot of the interior functions (they call it the "footwell" module) and I think that's where the top functions are controlled from. The dealership techs can likely pull fault history from it though.
The stuff you get from the standard OBDII readers is just the government mandated standard emissions codes.
