f your check engine light keeps coming on but you don’t know how to understand trouble codes, then this article is for you!

You’ve been driving around town and suddenly, your car engine light comes on. You can’t figure out what’s going on or what the lights mean because the car is running fine. The car isn’t stalling and there’s no noise coming from under your car’s hood. Then what seems to be the problem? It’s a trouble code.

The “Check engine light” which came up means your car has an OBD II Trouble code (could be more). Whenever this OBD II (Onboard Diagnostic System) identifies a problem, your vehicle’s car engine light (also known as Malfunction Indicator Lamp – MIL) will show up to warn you. And this detected problem is capable of causing your car’s emission to rise higher by 1.5 times the official limit.

What is a trouble code?

A trouble code is a code a car’s OBD system makes use of to alert or warn a car driver that there’s a problem. When it identifies a fault, it activates the trouble code which corresponds to the fault. So, each fault has a trouble code that corresponds to it.

The trouble code list was originally written by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), to be used by all automotive manufacturers to agree with the OBD II emission regulation in the USA. European and Asian car manufacturers have also adopted the same trouble code list.
