KWP2000 (Keyword Protocol 2000) is not a trouble code but rather is the name given to a type of communications protocol that is used for on-board vehicle diagnostics systems. Auto diagnostic tools and programmers use Keyword Protocol 2000 to read and transfer data to your vehicle’s electronic control unit, or ECU. If your check engine light is on, or you believe an engine management control problem exists on your vehicle, please request a Check Engine Light diagnostic and the responding certified mechanic will investigate and resolve any issue that exists.
