## What is OBDII Trouble Codes Lite?

This app is the most complete OBD II (EOBD) diagnostic trouble code definitions database. This is an ad-supported Lite version, which contains only 2553 description of generic codes (P0...).  If extended code is accessible in full version, you will get message "This description is available in FULL version"

If you want to get all descriptions you can buy FULL version, which contains more than 18500 error descriptions for almost 50 car manufacturers. 

Very simple to use! You don't even have to select your car model. Just enter your fault code and app will show you all supported descriptions. No Internet connection needed, no longer spend hours to search for single code description, looking at check engine light.

If you have cable, bluetooth or WiFi OBDII code reader (ELM327, PLX Kiwi or any other) you need this app for code description because most of code scanners does not contain full DTC (diagnostic trouble code)  database and displays only meaningfull numbers. Be prepared for any troubles wherever you are!

You can select and copy error description with simple long press on text, and then paste it in SMS, e-mail or wherever you want!

If your car supports OBD II or EOBD, then you can already use almost 5000 generic OBDII codes. These codes are from PowerTrain series (P0XXX, P2XXX, P34XX), Body Series (B0XXX), Chassis series (C0XXX), Network series (U0XXX, U2XXX, U3XXX).

Also there is a list of more than 13500 additional manufacturer specific codes.
Supported manufacturers with specific codes:
Acura
Alfa Romeo
BMW
Chrysler / Dodge / Jeep
Citroen / Peugeot
Daewoo
Fiat
Ford
Geo
GM (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Hummer, Pontiac)
Honda

### 1/5 — Not worth even downloading

*2022-08-22*

Basically you put a code in and it tells you what’s wrong with your car, but if you don’t know the code it’s useless so when you are trying to read codes from your car this app won’t help at all

### 1/5 — Бесполезное приложение

*2020-09-12*

Абсолютно бесполезное приложение просьба вернуть деньги обратно

### 4/5 — Хорошо

*2019-04-11*

Приложение отлично работает, но в нем нет необходимости

### 3/5 — Устаревает

*2018-12-05*

В описании сказано: «Постоянно обновляется». По факту, уже давно ничего нового и всё чаще расшифровку нужных кодов ищу в интернете. Зачем мне такое приложение?? Разработчики, добавьте новые коды!! Очень мало кодов Схххх, Dfxxx, Uxxxx. Отрабатывайте полученные деньги!!

### 1/5 — Siwan

*2018-08-07*

This is a rubbish scanner. I bought it can not read any thing. Only asking me to buy codes. If it can not read any thing and do not any code so why i should buy cod explanation. Please do not waste your money!

### 1/5 — It just stopped syncing

*2018-06-16*

I ended up throwing it away and buying a cabled OBD unit. It works every time. This  just wouldn’t sync. Waste of money.

### 1/5 — Дорого и не за что.

*2018-06-15*

Не успел открыть, а он денег просит. 300₽ нет спасибо.

### 1/5 — Nothing worth while here.....

*2018-01-29*

Info available throughout various auto sites for free. No reason to download/pay for something that simply repeats what the IBD code reader already says and that free auto sites will explain and even provide numerous possible fixes for.   Sorry. Simply not worth the time to download.

### 1/5 — Я

*2017-11-30*

Купи купи купи. Х...
