Diagnostic Trouble Code Definitions

1999 GMC Forward Control 5.7 R, AutomaticSECTION Diagnostic Trouble Code Definitions
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Saturn Vue and 2002 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Only transaxle related DTCs are listed. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS  table. For engine-related DTC definitions and diagnosis, see appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE. These DTCs pertain to engine performance and must be repaired first, as engine performance and related component signals will affect transaxle operation and diagnosis.

There are 4 types of DTC categories:

  • Type "A"  - Emissions related. Illuminates MIL the first time DTC sets.
  • Type "B"  - Emissions related. Illuminates MIL if fault is active for 2 consecutive driving cycles.
  • Type "C"  - Non-emissions related. Does not illuminate MIL, but may illuminate SERVICE light.
  • Type "D"  - Non-emissions related. Does not illuminate MIL or SERVICE light.
