There are common symptoms your vehicle will exhibit when things are out of sync. Typically, there will also be one or more Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) once the vehicle has been scanned.
What is a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)?
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (or fault codes) are codes that are stored by the on-board computer diagnostic system. They are stored in response to a problem found in the vehicle by the system and when a sensor in the vehicle reports a reading that is outside the normal/accepted range (e.g. fuel mixture too rich).
Trouble Codes Are Subdivided into Four Basic Categories:
- Powertrain (“P”) codes (engine, transmission and emissions systems)
- Body (“B”) codes (climate control system, lighting, airbags, etc.)
- Chassis (“C”) codes (antilock brake system, electronic suspension and steering systems)
- Network Communications (“U”) codes (controller area network wiring bus and modules)
