You can get a false 21 and 24 if you attempt to run the diagnostics / code read on a cold engine.
10 is not a code. It is a separator digit between the KOEO codes and the CM codes.
The KOEO codes are generated at the time the tests are performed. The CM codes are codes stored in memory and are from faults that happened in the past during normal recent operation of the vehicle.

The same code number can have different meaning depending on if KOEO or CM.
Also codes can have different meanings if from car or truck or different engines.

For detailed information on the diagnostic tests see the OBD1 write-up in my web page.

Also this is a good code reference: http://equus.com/Content/Support/Man..._20NOV2002.pdf
