HOW COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS WORK

During the computer diagnostics process, we use special tools and equipment to scan your vehicle’s onboard computer system. Your mechanic will then extract and interpret that data to determine the best path forward. We follow the same procedure as the dealerships, which involves the following steps:

  • Scanning the onboard diagnostics (OBD) system: Modern vehicles are equipped with an onboard diagnostics (OBD) system. The OBD system constantly monitors the performance of the engine, transmission, emissions, and other critical systems. Our automotive repair technicians use OBD scanners to connect to the OBD port of the vehicle to identify any issues.
  • Reading diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs): When a vehicle's system detects a problem, it generates diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), which are unique codes that represent specific issues or malfunctions. The OBD scanner communicates with the OBD system to retrieve these codes.
  • Interpreting DTCs: Once we retrieve the DTC codes, they need to be interpreted. Each vehicle manufacturer has definitions for every error code a vehicle can have. By finding the definition of each DTC code, we can better diagnose the component, sensor, or system that is causing the problem.
  • Live data and sensor readings: Diagnostic tools can also access live data from the vehicle's sensors and systems in real time. Our technicians use this live data to analyze the performance of various components, ensuring they operate within specified parameters.
  • Functional tests: Some of the diagnostic tools we use allow for functional tests, enabling our technicians to test and activate an electronic component or system to see if it responds appropriately.
  • Comprehensive system analysis: Vehicle diagnostics requires a systematic approach to troubleshooting. Our technicians follow a series of steps to identify and address issues with different systems, such as the engine, transmission, brakes, and more.
  • Software updates and reprogramming: In some cases, diagnostic tools enable technicians to perform necessary software updates or reprogramming of the vehicle's control modules to address certain issues.

Our skilled auto repair and maintenance technicians use computer diagnostics to make better assessments and perform more efficient repairs to get you back on the road quicker. Running diagnostic scans on a regular basis can help you maintain vehicle performance, ensure compliance with emissions standards, and enhance overall safety and reliability.
