Look up any code. See what it can indicate.

Look up any OBD-II code. Find the fix. No adapter required — the pocket reference for P, B, C, and U codes built for DIY drivers. Type the code your car threw, get a plain-English breakdown of the likely cause, the parts usually behind it, and a shop's honest quote — ranked by how often each fix actually works.

Suggestions appear as you type. Use the arrow keys to move, Enter to select a highlighted suggestion, Escape to close suggestions, or Enter with no selection to look up the typed code.

Accepted examples: P0420, B0010, C0085, or U0100. P-code lookup supports P0001–P3000.

A code is a starting point, not a diagnosis; confirm the cause with vehicle-specific testing.

OBD-II coverage boundary

U.S. light-duty gasoline vehicles have OBD-II requirements beginning with model year 1996, and light-duty diesel vehicles beginning with model year 1997. Those regulatory boundaries describe what vehicles must implement; they are not a CrankKey support or compatibility guarantee.

CrankKey has no blanket make/model/year hardware coverage claim. CrankKey-verified vehicle-specific support is limited to the dated evidence and code paths identified in the diagnostic coverage record; external benchmarks and synthetic fixtures are not CrankKey evidence.

Looking for EVAP codes? Start with P0442, P0446, or P0455.

Wireless scanner buyer help

Go beyond the engine computer.

Compare manufacturer-documented wireless scanner coverage, compatibility limits, and evidence before you buy. Innova 1000 names ABS, SRS, transmission, and body systems through specific examples; confirm your vehicle’s year, make, model, region, and configuration. Those named body examples are not every body module.
