It is a numeric code that is generated by the vehicle's onboard computer system when it detects an issue with one of the vehicle's components or systems. This code provides technicians with information regarding the nature of the problem, allowing them to diagnose and repair the issue more effectively. DTCs are usually displayed on the vehicle's dashboard or accessed using a diagnostic tool. GPT3.5
