What Are OBD-II Trouble Codes?

OBD-II trouble codes, also known as diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), are standardized codes stored by the vehicle's onboard computer when it detects a problem. Every car and truck manufactured in the United States after 1996 is equipped with an OBD-II system.

This system monitors the engine, emissions, and other critical systems. When a sensor or system malfunctions, the OBD-II system triggers the Check Engine Light (CEL) and records a specific fault code.

Understanding OBD-II Codes: What Each Character Means

When your "check engine light" or other dashboard warning light illuminates, your vehicle's OBD-II system generates one or more DTCs. Each DTC is a five-digit alphanumeric automotive diagnostic trouble code (e.g., P0420) that describes the type of fault, system location, and specific issue.

These engine codes typically begin with a letter and are categorized into four types based on the prefix:

First Character: System Category

P-Codes (Powertrain)

Engine and transmission systems

C-Codes (Chassis)

Suspension, brakes, steering

B-Codes (Body)

Interior systems like airbags or climate control

U-Codes (Network)

Communication issues between modules

Second Digit: Code Type

The second character in the code tells you whether the fault is generic or manufacturer-specific:

0 = Generic code (SAE-compliant, applicable to all brands)

1 = Manufacturer-specific code

Third Digit: Vehicle System Category

The third digit pinpoints which system is affected. There are eight categories:

0 = Fuel and air metering and auxiliary emission controls

1 = Fuel and air metering

2 = Fuel and air metering (injector circuits)

3 = Ignition system or misfire

4 = Auxiliary emission controls

5 = Vehicle speed control and idle control system

6 = Computer and output circuits

7 = Transmission

Last Two Digits: Specific Fault

The last two digits identify the exact fault or component involved, allowing the technician (or DIY owner) to determine the precise problem.

How to Read & Retrieve OBD-II Codes

Step 1: Locate the OBD-II Port

Locate the OBD-II diagnostic port, typically located below the dashboard near the steering wheel. In some vehicles, it may also be located near the center console or behind a small cover.

Step 2: Plug in the OBD-II Scanner

Connect your OBD-II code reader to the port. Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position (without starting the engine) so that the scanner starts and communicates with the vehicle's computer.

Step 3: Retrieve Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)

Follow the scanner's instructions to read stored and pending codes. The results will be displayed as a five-character code. Write it down or save it for future reference.

👉 Use our OBD Code Lookup Tool to learn what each code means, common causes, and possible solutions.

How to Clear OBD-II Trouble Codes

When your check engine light comes on, an OBD-II scanner can help pinpoint the problem. But once the issue is resolved, don't forget to clear the check engine light codes to reset the light. Here are the most recommended steps:

Step 1: Plug the scanner into the OBD-II port (usually located under the dashboard).

Step 2: Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, but do not start the engine.

Step 3: Navigate to "Clear DTCs" or "Clear Trouble Codes" in the scanner menu.

Step 4: Wait for confirmation, then turn the ignition off and restart the vehicle.

👉 Pro Tip: Always diagnose and fix the underlying cause first. Clearing the OBD2 codes won't fix the problem; it will only reset the warning light.

If P1489 shows up, there's a fault in the PCV heater's control circuit-this can stop the heater from working entirely. It's often due to a damaged control module, wires that cut out occasionally, or a heater with resistance outside the normal range (2-10Ω). Replace the damaged control module first. Then, fix any wires that cut out, and measure the heater's resistance to make sure it's within the standard range.
If common repairs can't solve it, a PCV Delete Kit offers a lasting solution.

Encountering P0439 implies a fault in the catalytic heater control circuit in Bank 2. The causes might be an abnormal heater resistor, a relay fault, or an ECU control module failure. Measure the heater resistance (it should be 2–10Ω). Replace the heater relay and test the ECU drive signals.
If the fault code keeps returning, a CAT Delete Kit may stop it permanently.

Fault code P1480 means the PCV solenoid valve has an open or closed circuit-this valve controls flow in the PCV system, so a circuit issue stops it from working. Common causes are a broken coil in the solenoid, worn wire harnesses, or corroded connectors. First, check the solenoid's resistance (it should be 3-5Ω) to confirm the coil issue. Then, replace worn harnesses and clean corroded connectors.
If common repairs can't solve it, a PCV Delete Kit offers a lasting solution.

If your vehicle triggers fault code P051A, it means the crankcase pressure sensor's circuit isn't working right-this sensor monitors pressure in the crankcase, so a faulty circuit can throw off readings. Common issues behind this are a broken sensor, damaged wires or connectors, or a vacuum leak messing with the sensor's data. To fix it, start by replacing the bad sensor. If that doesn't help, repair any damaged circuits or connectors, and seal up any vacuum leaks you find.
If common repairs can't solve it, a PCV Delete Kit offers a lasting solution.

Fault code P051B points to a problem with the sensor circuit's range or performance-this means the sensor isn't sending signals that fall within the normal range. Why might this happen? It could be a faulty sensor, corroded or broken wires, or a blocked PCV system (or mechanical issue) causing too much pressure. First, replace the sensor. If the issue lingers, fix the damaged circuits and either clean the PCV system or check the engine for mechanical problems.
If common repairs can't solve it, a PCV Delete Kit offers a lasting solution.

When P051C pops up, the sensor circuit has too low voltage-this stops the sensor from working properly. The main causes here are a sensor with an internal short, a wire that's grounded incorrectly, or a failing PCV system. Begin by swapping out the sensor. Next, repair the ground circuit to fix the voltage issue, and take a look at the PCV valve and hoses to make sure they're in good shape.
If common repairs can't solve it, a PCV Delete Kit offers a lasting solution.

P051D means the sensor circuit has too high voltage, which can disrupt the sensor's ability to send accurate data. This is often due to a short in the sensor's signal wire, a wire that's accidentally connected to power, or too much blow-by (gases leaking past pistons) causing weird pressure. Replace the sensor first. Then, separate the signal wire from power sources, and check the piston rings to stop excess blow-by.
If common repairs can't solve it, a PCV Delete Kit offers a lasting solution.

Fault code P051E is an intermittent issue with the sensor circuit-this means the problem comes and goes, not staying constant. It's usually from a sensor with bad contact, a loose connector, or a vacuum leak that fluctuates. Replace the sensor to fix poor contact. After that, make sure the connector is tight, and check the intake manifold for leaks that might come and go.
If common repairs can't solve it, a PCV Delete Kit offers a lasting solution.

If you see P051F, the PCV filter is clogged-this filter keeps debris out of the PCV system, so a clog can block airflow. What causes it? Sludge or debris buildup in the filter, a collapsed PCV hose, or a stuck PCV valve. Start by replacing the clogged filter. Then, swap out any collapsed hoses, and either clean the stuck PCV valve or replace it if cleaning doesn't work.
If common repairs can't solve it, a PCV Delete Kit offers a lasting solution.

P052E signals a performance problem with the PCV regulator valve-this valve controls pressure in the PCV system, so poor performance throws off pressure. The issues here are usually a valve stuck due to mechanical problems, a blocked ventilation pipe, or a circuit with bad contact. Replace the stuck regulator valve first. Then, clean out any blocked ventilation tubes, and fix any loose or damaged electrical connections.
If common repairs can't solve it, a PCV Delete Kit offers a lasting solution.

P120B indicates the PCV diagnostic valve has too low input voltage-this valve helps diagnose PCV issues, so low voltage ruins its accuracy. Why? The valve itself might be broken, the power line has too much resistance (slowing voltage), or the ECM (engine control module) is sending bad signals. Replace the faulty diagnostic valve first. Then, check the power line for resistance issues, and update the ECM software if needed.
If common repairs can't solve it, a PCV Delete Kit offers a lasting solution.

When P053A appears, the PCV heater's control circuit is open-this heater keeps the PCV system from freezing, so an open circuit stops it from working. The causes are often a blown heater fuse, a bad relay, or a control module that isn't outputting power. Test the heater's continuity first to check for a fuse issue. Then, replace the bad relay, and check if the control module is getting power.
If common repairs can't solve it, a PCV Delete Kit offers a lasting solution.

P053B means the PCV heater's control circuit has low voltage-this makes the heater work poorly or not at all. It's usually from a heater with a partial short, a wire shorted to ground, or an ECM that can't supply enough power. Replace the faulty heater first. Then, fix any wires shorted to ground, and test the ECM to make sure it's outputting enough current.
If common repairs can't solve it, a PCV Delete Kit offers a lasting solution.

Fault code P053C points to high voltage in the PCV heater's control circuit-this can damage the heater or other parts. The main issues are a heater with an internal open, a broken control line, or abnormal reference voltage from the PCM (powertrain control module). Replace the heater first to fix the internal open. Then, repair the broken control line, and check the PCM's signal for normal voltage.
If common repairs can't solve it, a PCV Delete Kit offers a lasting solution.

P145E is a fault in the PCV heater 'B' circuit-this auxiliary heater helps the main heater, so a fault here affects cold-weather performance. Causes include a broken auxiliary heater, damaged bypass control wires, or ECM communication issues. Replace the faulty auxiliary heater first. Then, repair any damaged bypass wires, and update the ECM firmware to fix communication problems.
If common repairs can't solve it, a PCV Delete Kit offers a lasting solution.

When fault code P0420 pops up, it indicates that the catalytic system efficiency in Bank 1 is below the threshold. This could stem from a clogged or failed three-way catalytic converter, faulty front or rear oxygen sensors, exhaust pipe leakage, or poor fuel quality or leaded gasoline contamination. To fix it, start by checking for and repairing exhaust leaks. Then, test the oxygen sensor data stream and replace any faulty sensors. You can also clean the catalytic converter with a specialized cleaner like a solvent solution. If cleaning doesn't work or the carrier is melted, replace the OEM catalytic converter.
If the fault code keeps returning, a CAT Delete Kit may stop it permanently.
