OBD-II Trouble Code
Nowadays, cars are equipped with electronic control units that control the operation of the whole system, while electronic units keep in touch with most of the sensors installed in your car and collect information about their operation, including OBD2 errors.
Thus, with the help of an auto scanner, you have the opportunity to connect to the electronic unit and check the defective car for the violation of the sensors and the system as a whole. At the same time, the autoscanner provides OBD 2 error codes to its screen, if any.
However, the OBD codes by themselves do not say anything and in order to decode the OBD codes it is necessary to have at hand a thick reference book in which the decoding of OBD 2 error codes is described in detail. Even if such a directory somehow finds itself at the right time in the right place , the search for the required OBD 2 will be delayed for a long time. This is not very convenient, and to find the OBD 2 codes in Russian is quite problematic.
On our site there are almost all known error codes of OBD, as well as a detailed OBD decoding of codes. The convenience and ease of use of the service allows you to easily recognize the OBD error codes of your car. In this case, you just need to set the search for the page for the error code OBD 2 and you will instantly move to the desired, detailed description of the OBD 2. You can read the errors with the universal adapters elm327. With the use of our service, the process of determining the malfunction of your car is greatly simplified, while you save a lot of time and spend less effort.
