Mitsubishi Triton / L200 Fault Codes & Diagnostics
The Mitsubishi Triton / L200 uses the standard OBD-II diagnostic system, which means the generic fault codes it produces — P0, P2, and P34-P39 powertrain codes, plus B0/C0/U0 body, chassis, and network codes — carry the same meaning as on any other OBD-II vehicle, as defined by the SAE J2012 standard. Look your code up below to get its meaning, severity, whether you can keep driving, and the likely fix.

Diesel Variants
Diesel variants of the Mitsubishi Triton / L200 are common outside North America. Diesel-specific systems (DPF, EGR, SCR/AdBlue, injectors) set P0/P2 codes plus manufacturer ranges — our diesel section covers diesel-specific diagnostics in depth.
Manufacturer-Specific Codes
Manufacturer-specific codes (P1xxx and brand B/C/U ranges) can differ by market and model year, and Mitsubishi does not publish a complete public list for every market. Where our catalog has a verified entry for a manufacturer code, the page says so and cites its source; where documentation doesn't exist, we say that too — no guessing. See how we verify.
A $30 car code reader can't do diesel. The HD7000 reads full-system codes and does parked DPF regen, idle/speed-limit, and service resets from the cab — on everything from a 6.7 Cummins/Power Stroke/Duramax pickup to Class-8 trucks (Detroit, Paccar, CAT, Volvo, Mack, International).

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Mitsubishi Triton / L200 OBD-II compliant?
Nearly all recent model years of the Mitsubishi Triton / L200 sold worldwide use the OBD-II diagnostic system, so generic fault codes read the same as on any other OBD-II vehicle. Very old examples may pre-date OBD-II in some markets — check your vehicle's documentation if you're unsure.
Where is the OBD-II port on the Mitsubishi Triton / L200?
On most vehicles the OBD-II port is under the dashboard on the driver's side, near the steering column. See our OBD-II port location guide for help finding it.
Are Mitsubishi Triton / L200 fault codes different in my country?
Generic OBD-II codes (P0, P2, P34-P39, B0, C0, U0) are identical everywhere — they're defined by the SAE J2012 standard, not by market. Manufacturer-specific codes (P1xxx and brand B/C/U ranges) can vary by market and model year.
