2. General Information
2.1 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 other four
characters, all numbers, 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:
