Use Toolmu look-up-obd-ii-code-kelley-blue-book to read the source reference for the fault code I copy from a car scanner or report. Reuse a working Toolmu connection, or follow https://toolmu.com/SKILL.md to connect. Check current requirements, availability and the Credits ceiling, then execute within my authorization and budget. Select the documented powertrain category internally; it is the only supported category, and no source default is declared. My individual code is for finding a matching entry after retrieving the reference collection, not an additional supplier filter. Do not ask me for category codes, field names, vehicle identifiers or technical setup values. If I have no fault code, I may request the reference list without one; do not derive a code from symptoms or a warning light. Find the actual matching returned entry and explain its original title and brief description; if absent, say that this response did not include it. Keep source text separate from a diagnosis or repair recommendation. Do not invent entries, links, dates, complete coverage, severity, safe-to-drive advice or repair cost. Bracketed example text is replaced by my own content.

Task:
Use the KBB powertrain-code reference list to explain [fault code shown on the car scanner or report]. Show the matching title and description only if returned. If it is absent, say so; do not decide a repair from the code alone.

Read KBB OBD-II powertrain code references

Copy the fault code shown on your car scanner or inspection report. Your assistant checks the KBB powertrain-code reference list and explains the matching source entry if it is returned.

You receive

KBB’s common powertrain fault-code reference entries with each code, title and brief description. Your assistant checks your known code against the entries actually returned.

Start with your task

Use the KBB powertrain-code reference list to explain [fault code shown on the car scanner or report]. Show the matching title and description only if returned. If it is absent, say so; do not decide a repair from the code alone.

What to know

This is a curated powertrain-code reference collection, not a vehicle scan or a supplied-code search. It does not establish a particular vehicle fault, severity, safe-to-drive decision, repair procedure or repair cost. A missing entry does not make a code invalid.

Inputs & outputs

Inspect the current inputs, availability, and maximum charge before starting.

Input schema

Input schema
Field / Path	Type	Requirement	Meaning
Reference query options`queryParams`	`object`	Optional	Optional query object for the documented category. Its closed input shape has no individual-code or vehicle filter.
Code category`queryParams.category`	`string`	Optional	Optional string. The source currently supports P for powertrain codes; use P when supplying category.

Result schema

No fixed output contract is available. Field types reflect saved result evidence; individual responses can differ.

Result schema
Field / Path	Type	Meaning
Source reference entries`result.data.results`	`array`	Curated common-code collection. Six entries appear in the saved sample; neither that count nor exhaustive catalog coverage is guaranteed.
Reference code`result.data.results[].code`	`string`	Source code label, observed as a string in every saved entry. Compare a known code with actual returned values; this is not a live vehicle reading.
Source entry title`result.data.results[].title`	`string`	Original source title. All six saved titles repeat their code labels; do not invent a more descriptive title or assume that every future title must match its code.
Source introductory description`result.data.results[].description`	`string`	Brief source introduction observed as a string. References to causes or fixes are not a full article, a verified vehicle diagnosis or a repair instruction.

Additional notes

If you already have a check engine light code, use this Tool to read KBB's curated common powertrain-code references. The exposed query option is category, documented as P. An individual code, vehicle identity, model year or scanner reading is not a Tool input; specify the code you want to compare in your Agent request instead.

Inspect the actual results entries and keep each code with its original title and description. The saved titles repeat their code labels, while descriptions are short source introductions rather than complete diagnostic articles. Locate the requested code only if it appears in the returned collection; report an absent entry without inventing an explanation.

Use the reference as context for further investigation. Source wording about causes or fixes does not verify a fault on your vehicle or select a repair. The collection has no vehicle observation, severity, repair cost, source-update time or article URL; consult appropriate vehicle-specific evidence before making those decisions.

Get connected

Yes. Provide the code as shown on the scanner or report. Your assistant reads the supported powertrain reference list and checks whether your code is included. It explains only an actual returned entry; the list does not cover every code.

Can I ask about the fault code on my report?

Does a description confirm the cause or the right repair?
