What is a Vehicle Diagnostic Test?

The vehicle diagnostic test is a system that links to your car “ECU – Engine Control Unit” which all of the car’s sensors and monitors feedback into, such as the engine temperature sensor, fluid level sensors, tire pressure sensors and so on.

If there is an issue with any of these car sensors and monitors around the vehicle, the ECU will display an error code. This error code will trigger the corresponding warning light to display on the car dashboard. If the necessary changes have been made (eg you top up your vehicles liquids) and the problem still persists and the light does not turn off, this kind of thing can be diagnosed by a Car Diagnostics Test.

Due to the sheer number of errors that can be generated by the ECU within a car, the easiest and most efficient way to diagnose such issues is to use vehicle diagnostic equipment as we have here at Elite Auto Services.

Due to our extensive experience using Vehicle Diagnostic Equipment, once the system has alerted what the potential issue may be, we will be able to suggest and undertake any repairs that may be needed to get your vehicle back to full working order.

What does a Vehicle Diagnostic Test Actually Check?

As you may know, your car is made up of hundreds of different parts. When something goes wrong with one of these parts, the Engine Control Unit will generate an error and push that into your dashboard lights, but there would not be enough space on your dashboard to display all potentially issues that could go wrong with the engine. Instead, it may just light up the “Check Engine” light. This helps us realise there is an problem with the engine, but it will not help us understand what exactly has gone wrong. This Vehicle Diagnostic Test will be able to go into every bit of information logged by the Engine Control Unit and find the point at which something went wrong. This will then allow us to go in and fix the issue, that we otherwise would have had to perform multiple other tests to try and understand what may be happening. This does not stop at engine monitoring though, the ECU does the same for Emissions, Tires, Lights and all other electric system in the car too.
