Access DTC description list?

[Trippin]

Is there a way to access the DTC description list in the Scan tool? For instance a buddy of mine calls and says he has a certain DTC set, but all he has is the numerical value. Is there a way I could look up the description in EFILive?

In the tune tool, type the {code} in the navigator window and hit search. Should take you to the DTC.

Thanks. I feel kinda silly for not thinking of that myself. The only problem I see is that you have to have a tune open that contains that DTC.

From scan tool only, I don't think you can do it unless you were connected to vehicle that was throwing DTC.

Could keep a link to http://www.ls2.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=17992 (Elmer did a great job on this)
and a link to www.gearchatter.com (http://www.gearchatter.com).

If you know the code, this gives the troubleshooting procedures for it.

If it's an OBDII code, they should be pretty generic between tunes.

Elmer, thanks, that is the thread I was looking for. :cheers:

Yes, for OBDII the DTCs should be across all tunes (don't know about gas<-->diesel).
