MotorTask diagnostic code checker
Know more before you visit the garage.
Enter the fault code shown by your diagnostic scanner and receive a clear report explaining what it usually means, likely causes, safety guidance and a sensible investigation path.A fault code identifies the system reporting a problem. It does not, by itself, prove which component needs replacing.Useful information in your hands
Take a better starting point to your technician.
Your report helps you describe the issue clearly and gives the garage useful information before physical testing begins.Review likely causes
Learn which connections, sensors, wiring or related components may need checking—without guessing that a part must be replaced.
Save the full report
Download the result to your phone and share it with the garage alongside the vehicle details and symptoms you supplied.
Helping customers and garages
Get closer to the root cause, sooner.
Instead of arriving with only a warning light, the customer can bring the code, symptoms and a structured report. This gives both the customer and the garage a clearer starting point, helping the technician focus the first inspection and work towards the underlying cause more efficiently.
The garage must still confirm the fault using appropriate equipment and physical inspection. MotorTask does not tell customers to buy or replace a part without that confirmation.

A code report is guidance—not a final diagnosis.
