Diagnostic Test Code (DTC) List - 2001 Chevy Venture

Here is a simple list of Diagnostic Test Codes (DTC) for the van and are sometimes referred to as Trouble Codes.  These are the codes you will get if you see the Check Engine Light on and you connect a OBDII (On-Board Diagnostic 2) scanner to find out what is causing the problem.
Important Note: Just because a DTC names a particular sensor, it does not mean that sensor is bad. Proper diagnostic procedures must always be performed to find the cause of the problem. 
Codes that start with "B" are "Body" related, "C" are "Brake" related, "P" are "Power Train" related, and "U" are Comm Issues.
There are more details on another page if the code number has a link on it.
