Definition
Identification of the fault code
Make-up of a fault code:
A fault code is made up of:
* a "MID" code associated with a digital value to identify the ECU,
* a "PID" or "PPID" or "SID" or "PSID" code associated with a digital value to identify the origin,
* an "FMI" code associated with a digital value to identify the type of fault.
