What Issues can Car Diagnostics Identify?
A few of the areas of concern a car diagnostics service can identify in most vehicles are as follows:
- Issues with the engine
- Engine timing problems
- Fuel injector performance
- Engine RPM levels
- Air and coolant temperature
- Crankshaft issues
- Camshaft position
- Problems with brakes
- Engine management problems
Our diagnostic scan equipment picks up the code, which then informs the technicians of possible issues with any component in the vehicle.
On completion of your vehicle, we run a diagnostic report to ensure all problems have been resolved and cleared. In some instances, we will need to complete further recalibrations, reprogramming, which will be carried out by our Auto Fix trained technicians in-house.
Diagnostic tests are used to determine what repairs are required on your vehicle to ensure it operates properly. All vehicles have an on-board diagnostic computer interface, which is used in conjunction with diagnostic tools and software to help our technicians identify problems much quicker.
The diagnostic test is carried out using a diagnostic scanner that is plugged into a special connector, mostly found under the dash on the driver's side of the vehicle. The scanner receives information regarding the vehicle's model, identification number and engine type.
After scanning the ECU or the onboard computer system, it receives and identifies a specific diagnostic code that relates to a specific problem.
This code is used to help our Auto Fix car technicians understand where to look to make the necessary repairs.
We can't stress enough how important it is to get a warning light checked out as soon as possible. Continuing to drive with an illuminated warning light in the hope it will go away could potentially result in major damage to your vehicle and leave you facing an expensive repair bill.

At Auto Fix car service, our expert technicians perform engine diagnostic checks using the latest computer equipment to learn more about why the vehicle is not functioning correctly. However, not all vehicles display fault lights when something goes wrong, so an engine diagnostics scan may give an early indication of a problem, which could save you money in the future.
