Vehicles from 1996 and on are equipped with a computer that can store Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). This system monitors the functionality of many systems in the automobile, and the overall health of the engine. These codes are read with a scan tool that plugs into the car's OBD port. Scan tools can be borrowed from an Advanced Auto Parts for free, but they sometimes have a problem reading all of the codes. This can cause confusion when trying to properly diagnose your automobile. A scan tool from Ross Tech would be a great investment in diagnosing your automobile accurately, and would also let you pull other information that is essential to the overall health of your automobile. A Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) in the instrument cluster alerts the driver to the fault and the need to have the system checked for fault codes. These codes follow a standard format and are known as Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
DTCs are assigned two codes. The first code is a numerical code assigned by the factory. The second code is referred to as a P-code and follows a structure required by law and defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). This standard uses a letter to designate the system and four numbers to further identify and detail the malfunction as listed below.
