Posted OBDII Trouble Code Diagnosis
From obd-codes.com:
Here is a breakdown of what each digit of the code means:
First Character - System
The first character identifies identifies the system related to the trouble code.
The second digit identifies whether the code is a generic code (same on all OBD-II equpped vehicles), or a manufacturer specific code.
The third digit denotes the type of sub-system that pertains to the code
These digits, along with the others, are variable, and relate to a particular problem.
Here is a breakdown of what each digit of the code means:
First Character - System
The first character identifies identifies the system related to the trouble code.
- P = Powertrain
- B = Body
- C = Chassis
- U = Undefined
The second digit identifies whether the code is a generic code (same on all OBD-II equpped vehicles), or a manufacturer specific code.
- 0 = Generic (this is the digit zero -- not the letter "O")
- 1 = Enhanced (manufacturer specific)
The third digit denotes the type of sub-system that pertains to the code
- 1 = Emission Management (Fuel or Air)
- 2 = Injector Circuit (Fuel or Air)
- 3 = Ignition or Misfire
- 4 = Emission Control
- 5 = Vehicle Speed & Idle Control
- 6 = Computer & Output Circuit
- 7 = Transmission
- 8 = Transmission
- 9 = SAE Reserved
- 0 = SAE Reserved
These digits, along with the others, are variable, and relate to a particular problem.
