Diagnostics

When a warning light illuminates on your dashboard, an engine diagnostics check can help identify the problem before more serious damage occurs.

Most modern vehicles today contain an on-board computer known as an Engine Control Unit (ECU) which continually monitors the performance of the vehicle. Sensors all around the vehicle report back to the ECU if there are problems such as low fluid levels or increased engine temperature. When an issue is identified the ECU generates an error code.

There are literally hundreds of potential error codes that can only be read by specialist vehicle diagnostic equipment. While a warning light may display on the dashboard alerting you to an issue, a diagnostics check is required to understand the full extent and cause of the problem.

Sometimes, despite numerous trips to various garages, even the best mechanics struggle with some of those pesky motoring problems that creep up on us all.

Here at ABC Tyres we use the latest diagnostic machines to quickly and efficiently establish any faults with your vehicle. Using this method helps to eliminate the potentially costly mistake of a misdiagnosed problem and at the same time, you know ABC Tyres staff are doing the best they possibly can for your vehicle and for your pocket.
