Global fault code description

The list below contains standard diagnostic trouble codes (DTC’s)that are used by some manufacturers to identify vehicle problems. The codes provide below are generic codes that may not apply to all vehicles.
Vehicle manufacturers may use manufacturer specific D.T.C codes that are different from the codes shown below.
Vehicles Manufacturers may also use D.T.C codes different from the generic D.T.C codes.
The Division recommends that motorists not depend on the DTC codes in this list for vehicle repairs until they confirm the generic DTC codes apply to their vehicles. The list below is for information purposes only and is not intended for use in specific vehicle repairs.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTCs) — Trouble codes are how OBDII identifies and communicates to technicians where and what on-board problems exist.
The first number in the DTC indicates whether the code is an S.A.E generic code (applies to all OBDII systems) or is specific to the vehicle manufacturer.
The remaining three numbers provide information regarding the specific vehicle system and circuit. An analysis of a typical OBDII code is shown below.

Following is a list of generic DTCs
