J2012 and ISO 15031-6 are standards for all DTCs, established by the SAE, International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and other governing bodies.

Codes and definitions assigned by these specifications are known as Generic OBD II codes.

OBD II requires compliance to these standards for all cars, light trucks, APVs, MPVs, and SUVs sold in the United States.

Codes not reserved by the SAE are reserved for the manufacturer and referred to as Manufacturer Specific Codes.
