Decoding Generic Powertrain Trouble Codes
This section focuses on the standard diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) used across all vehicle manufacturers to pinpoint car problems. These codes are designed to be universally understood, making diagnosis more straightforward. Below, you’ll find generic codes that are widely applicable, though it’s important to remember that specific vehicles might also use manufacturer-specific DTC codes that can vary slightly from these general codes.

For example, if you’re dealing with code P0171, you’ll find it in the P01xx section, or the page covering codes from P0100 to P0199.
