Summary
I have four vehicles in my family and do most the repair work myself except for transmissions. Recently, I have got into the OBD2 codes and find difficulty in understanding what my OBD2 scanner is displaying to me. From what I have read, OBD2 codes follow the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) standard J2012. Each part of the code shows some information. None of the manuals I have break them out. I may be wrong but I suspect one can only get the last two series of fault codes from special scanners or programs. Do you have any ideas on where I can get information on the last two code digits and what they indicate?
OBD2 codes are read with a handheld computer called a scanner or scan tool. Automotive technicians use a scanner extensively when diagnosing modern computerized cars. Some automobile manufacturers only allow emissions related codes to be displayed by scanners unless you have the factory scan tool. Others allow all codes to be show by any scanner.The reason for keeping a battery off concrete is to keep the battery dry. The concrete will become damp beneath the battery and the high humidity around the battery lets it discharge faster. Put the battery on a piece of wood or on a shelf where it can't be knocked over. The wood lets the moisture from the concrete evaporate so the battery stays charged.See the full content of this document
