DTC Nomenclature (SAE J2012 and ISO 14229)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Many modules use 5-character DTCs followed by a 2-character failure-type code. The failure-type (sometimes called "fault byte") digits provide information about specific fault conditions such as opens or shorts to ground. Continuous memory DTCs have an additional 2-character DTC status code suffix to assist in determining DTC history.
