and step-by-step directions for dealing with each Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).

Prior to 1996, the methods of retrieving these codes varied from car to car, but most cars did not absolutely require any special tools or equipment to retrieve the codes. A good book which explains all of this is here => Haynes Techbook: Computer Codes and Electronic Engine Management Systems For 1996 and newer cars, however, special equipment is needed to retrieve the codes, which are now standardized under the OBD II system. For any car, older or newer, in my opinion the AllData DIY (Do-It-Yourself) online service provides the very best information about retrieving, understanding, and solving problems with Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's).
