== In automobiles ==
Error codes in automobiles, sometimes referred to as trouble codes, indicate to a driver or car mechanic what is wrong with a vehicle before repairs are initiated.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Error Codes - MechanicV. Auto GeekBasics |url=https://www.mechanicgeekvautobasics.com/category/error-codes |access-date=2022-08-27 |language=en-US}}</ref> A car is liable to display as many fault codes as possible on a diagnostic scanner, depending on the state of the engine system.
 
In [[vehicle]]s with [[CAN bus|CAN buses]], error codes are often five-digit codes that pinpoint a particular car fault. Car owners can make use of an [[on-board diagnostics]] scanner or an owner's manual to identify the meaning of a trouble code. Five-digit diagnostic trouble codes typically consist of one letter and four numbers (e.g. [https://www.mechanicgeekvautobasics.com/2022/07error-codes/error-p0123-code-fix.html/ P0123]).
