Automotive Diagnostic Command Set User Manual
error in is a cluster that describes error conditions occurring before the VI 
executes. If an error has already occurred, the VI returns the value of the 
error in cluster to error out.
status is TRUE if an error occurred. This VI is not executed when 
status is TRUE.
code is the error code number identifying an error. A value of 0 
means success. A negative value means error: the VI did not 
execute the intended operation. A positive value means warning: 
the VI executed intended operation, but an informational warning 
is returned. For a description of the code, wire the error cluster to 
a LabVIEW error-handling VI, such as the Simple Error 
Handler.
source identifies the VI where the error occurred.
Output
diag ref out is a copy of diag ref in. You can wire it to subsequent 
diagnostic VIs.
DTCs returns the resulting DTCs as an array of clusters:
DTC is the resulting Diagnostic Trouble Code. For the default 
2-byte DTCs, you can use 
to convert this to
readable format as defined by SAE J2012.
Status is the DTC status. Usually, this is a bit field with the 
following meaning:
