Engine Codes

Vehicle manufacturers have fitted on-board diagnostic (OBD) systems for many years that provide codes to help identify specific issues. When your car’s on-board diagnostics system identifies a problem with the vehicle’s performance, it turns on a dashboard warning light (usually the check engine light ) and registers a code that identifies the issue.
This engine code, called a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC), is stored in the OBD system and can only be accessed by connecting a scan, or diagnostic tool into the EOBD diagnostic socket and reading the DTC off the display of the scanner.
In our guides, you find basic information about different engine codes, along with top troubleshooting tips.
