Codes for check engine light'?

Check engine light codes, known as Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), are alphanumeric codes generated by a vehicle's onboard diagnostic system when it detects an issue. These codes can indicate a wide range of problems, from minor issues like a loose gas cap to more serious engine or emissions system failures.
