Opel fault codes

39 distinct codes across 35 real Opel diagnostics.

39 distinct codes across 35 real diagnostics on Opel, including the Opel-specific ones no generic code list can decode.

Opel-specific codes

These are manufacturer-specific, which means the same code on another marque is a different fault. That is exactly why they have no page of their own and no entry in any generic code list. Scoped to Opel and ranked by how often we have actually seen them, they are a claim we can stand behind.
