      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Look up a diesel truck fault code (J1939 SPN/FMI such as 'SPN 3251 FMI 0', or an OBD-II code such as 'P2002') in DERATE's public fault-code library. Returns what the code means, its severity, whether it is safe to keep driving, probable causes, the recommended tests, and the canonical URL of the public page for that code. Works without any account.
