How Are Modern Car Diagnostics Conducted?
Modern car diagnostics are typically undertaken using specialist tools that communicate with a car's on-board computer system. These tools can retrieve data from various sensors and systems within the car and interpret it to identify issues or faults. This can save a huge amount of time and expense over traditional, hands-on, “under-the-bonnet” car diagnostics. And these savings are passed on to our Bordon, Farnham, Liphook, Haslemere and Petersfield clients. But that’s not to say we can’t carry out diagnostics in the traditional way, when this approach is insufficient. Our mechanics are veterans and skilled in all forms of car diagnostics, and never afraid to get their hands dirty.
The most common diagnostic tool is called an ECU reader, which is a handheld device that can be plugged into a port usually located under the dashboard. The scanner retrieves fault codes stored in the car's on board computer memory and provides a diagnostic report to our technician. We’ve invested in advanced diagnostic tools which can perform in-depth testing of various systems, such as the engine, transmission, brakes, and suspension.
These tools provide real-time data and even simulate driving conditions to pinpoint the source of any issues that Bordon, Farnham, Liphook, Haslemere and Petersfield motorists have been experiencing. This technology has made car diagnostics more efficient, accurate, and reliable, allowing our technicians to quickly identify and fix problems with modern vehicles.
