Diagnostic Check

Car diagnostics, also referred to as vehicle diagnostics is basically a check to solve or get to the root of the problem with any vehicle. A car diagnostic is carried out by qualified mechanics and technicians who use machinery and vehicle diagnostic tools, to see if there are any recorded problems in your car. 

WHAT AREAS OF THE CAR CAN BE TESTED?

Diagnostic tests can reveal problems within a car’s engine, transmission, exhaust system, brakes, and other major components, as well as performance issues with the fuel injector, air flow and coolant, ignition coils, and throttle. 

However, a common misconception about car diagnostic tests is that technicians can use code-reading tools to determine the exact problem that triggered the check engine light. In reality, the code tells technicians which engine or component parameters are out of range, but it does not detail the cause of the problems. That’s where the good old human brain comes in handy, as the technician uses experience and expertise to diagnose the underlying problem.
