What is a DTC?
DTC stands for Diagnostic Troubles Codes and are vehicle fault codes or vehicle P codes in the the vehicle’s ECU to indicate there is an issue with the engine management system. The purpose of a DTC code is to help identify the area and location of the issue hence helping repair technicians trace and fix an issue through a DTC Solutions service.
Typically this is done for motorsport and/or offroad use only, check your local/regional legislation regarding the use of these modifications.
DTC and fault codes are made up of one letter and 4 numbers that allow identification of an error and understand the reasons of its occurrence. The first character is a letter, typically a P for the engine management system. And the 4 remaining characters consist of numbers that provide a component or type of issue identified.
