At Colonial Subaru, we know that auto maintenance is a complex issue. So, when we mention things like OBD P-Codes, we may as well be speaking Greek for most drivers in the greater Waterbury and Norwalk areas. However, the Onboard Diagnostics System Problem Codes, or OBD P-Codes for short, are essential for helping our technicians diagnose thorny auto maintenance issues with your Subaru. Here's a brief overview of the most common codes you'll encounter so you can get the most out of your next service visit here at our Danbury, CT repair center.
