Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
OBD II Diagnostic Trouble Codes are codes that are stored by the on-board
computer diagnostic system in response to a problem found in the vehicle.
These codes identify a particular problem area and are intended to provide you
with a guide as to where a fault might be occurring within a vehicle. OBD II
Diagnostic Trouble Codes consist of a five-digit alphanumeric code. The first
character, a letter, identifies which control system sets the code. The second
character, a number, 0-3; other three characters, a hex character, 0-9 or A-F
provide additional information on where the DTC originated and the operating
conditions that caused it to set. Here below is an example to illustrate the
structure of the digits

Power supply

The power of the Creader V+ is provided via the vehicle Data Link Connector

(DLC). Follow the steps below to power it up:

1) Find DLC on vehicle

A plastic DLC cover may be found for some vehicles and you need to

remove it before plugging the OBDII cable.

2) Plug the connector at the end of OBD II cable to the vehicle’s DLC.



Vehicle Coverage

The Creader V+ is specially designed to work with all OBD II compliant vehicles,

including Control Area Network (CAN). It is required by EPA that all 1996 and

newer vehicles (cars and light trucks) sold in the United States must be OBD II

compliant and this includes all American, Asian and European vehicles.

A small number of 1994 and 1995 model year gasoline vehicles are OBD II

compliant. To verify if a 1994 or 1995 vehicle is OBD II compliant, check the

Vehicle Emissions Control Information (VECI) Label, which is located under the

hood or by the radiator of most vehicles. If the vehicle is OBD II compliant, the

label will designate “OBD II Certified”. Additionally, Government regulations

mandate that all OBD II compliant vehicles must have a “common” sixteen-pin

Data Link Connector (DLC).

For the vehicle to be OBD II compliant it must have a 16-pin DLC (Data Link

Connector) under the dash and the Vehicle Emission Control Information Label

must state that the vehicle is OBD II compliant.
