Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)

OBD II Diagnostic Trouble Codes are codes that are stored by the on-board computer diagnostic system in response to a problem found in the vehicle.

These codes identify a particular problem area and are intended to provide you with a guide as to where a fault might be occurring within a vehicle.

OBD II Diagnostic Trouble Codes consist of a five-digit alphanumeric code.

The first character, a letter, identifies which control system sets the code.

The second character, a number, 0-3; other three characters, a hex character, 0-9 or A-F provide additional information on where the DTC originated and the operating conditions that caused it to set.

Here below is an example to illustrate the structure of the digits.
