2 years ago There is a DTC database in AndrOBD: codes.properties
This file maps the OBD DTC codes to the translatable, meaningful text.
The effort of maintenance of such a database of DTC explanations, and the needed detailled expert knowledge/experience should not be under-estimated. It takes a lot of expertise to maintain such a database.
Since there are multiple pages online, which explain DFC causes even type / model specific, i still think it is most effective to use this resource and just do a global lookup in the internet. The user then has the choice to select the preferred match rather than a fixed, prepared enty.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently looking for DTC's depends on the online connection, and information from different websites, which contain a lot of ads, and it is currently not possible to get this information locally.
Describe the solution you'd like Create a Diagnostic Trouble Code repo, where anyone can contribute to, so a local DTC database can be created for AndrOBD.
Describe alternatives you've considered This information be done as a Plugin, or built inside the app. Internet lookup (like currently) could still be available optionally as a toggle option.
Additional context This would make AndrOBD more independent from other websites information and community could help with repo information. Some information can be found here: https://github.com/todrobbins/dtcdb dtc_list.pdf from this website.
