What is the total number of characters in the universal diagnostic trouble code format?

  1. 3

  2. 5

  3. 7

  4. 10

The correct answer is: 5

The total number of characters in the universal diagnostic trouble code (DTC) format is five. This format is structured as a letter followed by four digits, which allows for a wide range of error codes that can represent various issues within a vehicle’s systems. The letter indicates the system related to the code (such as P for powertrain, B for body, C for chassis, and U for network), while the subsequent four digits specify the particular fault or issue. Understanding this structure is crucial for emissions inspectors and technicians, as it allows them to accurately identify and diagnose problems. Having familiarity with the five-character format helps in interpreting diagnostics effectively, ensuring that any underlying issues are properly remedied to maintain compliance with emissions regulations.
