We have the Latest Diagnostics technology to cover most vehicles.
We can check for Engine problems and illuminate the Check Engine light.
20% of the cost of producing a car is in the electronics and wiring. Therefore it is vital to maintain these components to have a roadworthy and trouble free automobile. All modern cars are installed with electric windows, sunroofs, computer controlled engine management systems (ECU) connected to sensors in various different locations which feedback to the ECU and highlight any faults. When a fault occurs the engine fault light is displayed in the dashboard.
Depending on how modern and technologically advanced a vehicle is, auto-electricians are able to plug in a diagnostic computer to the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) port. We are then able to navigate through the on-screen menu to choose the part of the vehicle we wish to investigate. The computer is able to find and report back information on the fault, for example, a break in circuit wiring. Any malfunction in sensors will also be displayed and a printout can be given to customers. The fault can also be cleared eliminating the engine fault warning light, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and also air bag lights.
All cars built after 1st of January 1996 have the OBD-II standard fitted in the vehicle. It provides almost complete engine control and also monitors parts of the chassis, body and accessory devices, as well as the diagnostic control network of the car. The vehicle manufacturer is required to be capable of maintaining the emission standards of the cars for the useful life of the vehicle. OBD-II provides a universal inspection and diagnosis method to be sure the car is performing to OEM standards. There is a need to reduce vehicle emitted pollution levels in our cities therefore this has been implemented.
On older vehicles and those that do not have ECUs, we use test equipment such as Multi meters to identify breaks in electric circuits. We check electronic circuits against circuit diagrams and use hand and power tools to make repairs. When a repair is completed, we test the circuit or part to make sure it is working correctly. We also make adjustments, and check and top up batteries as part of routine servicing.
