What is an OBD-II code?

OBD-II (On-Board Diagnostics, second generation) is a standardized system in all vehicles sold in the United States after 1996. When your vehicle's computer detects an issue, it stores a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and illuminates the check engine light. MyOBDCode lets you look up these codes instantly — for free.
