Engine Diagnostics

A code reader tells you which circuit reported a fault. It does not tell you which part failed, and the difference between those two things is the difference between a repair that works and one that doesn't.

What the job involves

  • Pull the stored and pending codes, plus the freeze-frame data that shows what the engine was doing when the fault was recorded.
  • Test the components in that circuit rather than replacing the first part the code names.
  • Explain what we found, what it will cost to put right, and what happens if you leave it.
  • Give you the diagnosis in writing, whether or not you have the work done here.

When you need it

  • The check engine light is on, steady or flashing — a flashing light means stop driving
  • The engine is misfiring, hesitating or idling roughly
  • Fuel economy has dropped noticeably
  • The car failed a smog check
