How We Check What We Publish

Our process

1. Collect from official and recognised sources. Public authorities, standards such as SAE J2012 for fault code titles and ISO 2575 for tell-tale symbols, maker documentation and other recognised references. We record the source and date.
2. Match the vehicle. Notes that apply only to some makes, engines or markets are shown only for them.
3. Write in plain language. Each page is written for its language, not copied word for word.
4. Show the risk first. Every technical page starts with a risk level so you know whether it is safe to keep driving.
5. Publish with source and date. Pages show their source and the last checked date.
6. Re-check regularly. Recall pages are created from official records by a weekly check; other pages are reviewed when sources change or a reader reports an error.

Sources

Fault code titles follow SAE J2012. Warning light symbols follow ISO 2575. Recalls come from official authorities such as the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Vehicle facts come from maker publications and other recognised references named on each page.

Use of AI

We use AI tools to help draft and translate texts. Texts are checked against their sources, and AI is not used to invent values such as torque figures, capacities, prices or repair steps that are not in a source.

Corrections

If you find an error, use “Report an error” or the contact page. We check every report against the source and correct the page; the update date changes with it.
