What is an OBD2 code?

An OBD2 (On-Board Diagnostics) code is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) generated by your vehicle's computer system when it detects a problem. These codes help identify specific issues with your vehicle's engine, transmission, emissions, or other systems.

How do I read OBD2 codes?

To read OBD2 codes, you'll need an OBD2 scanner. Plug it into your vehicle's OBD2 port (usually located under the dashboard), turn your key to the 'ON' position, and follow your scanner's instructions to retrieve the codes. Each code starts with a letter (P, B, C, or U) followed by four numbers.

What do the different types of OBD2 codes mean?

OBD2 codes are categorized by their first letter: P (Powertrain) for engine and transmission issues, B (Body) for interior systems like airbags, C (Chassis) for mechanical systems like brakes, and U (Network) for computer and module communication problems.
