    reading dtcs

    When i scan my truck i get several dtcs. Ive changed alot of things so this is to be expected but what do the details mean.
    Such as (immature) (old) (history) (current) (pending)

    some sound selfexplanitory but i cant find true definitions for these anywhere
    can some one help me out with true def list.

    I don't know for sure other than what they just appear to be. Here is my best guess.

    Pending: Code has been tripped but did not set the SES. For example, Saw 1 error but is waiting on a repeat until the light is tripped.

    Current: Current code.

    History: Past code that is not showing up after several cycles/tests.

    Old: Not sure, maybe it is the same as what I said for history.

    Immature: Maybe this means it set the code, but never came back up to set the SES.

    Again, simply guesses as I don't have the definitions. Maybe someone else can correct me.

    Thanks for the reply

    I was just wondering because i just did start up and got hit with codes but it barley ran at all because of course i have to tune i just guessed at first but i tweeked a few thing real quick. Now i dont want to be chasing a lost false code.
    I also changed my abs module to get traction control button and some brake codes came up but quickley said history and some said old. I havent driven it to let it do its self diagnostics so i dont know if codes are for real or just due to not testing yet.
