Diagnostics

Modern vehicles contain an on-board computer, known as an Engine Control Unit (ECU), which continually monitors the performance of your vehicle. Sensors around your vehicle will constantly report back to the ECU and if there is a problem, such as low fluid levels or increased engine temperature and alter will be triggered. The ECU will generate an error code which we are able to use to diagnose the problem.

There are many error codes that can be generated by an ECU and can only be read by specialist vehicle diagnostic equipment. When a warning light displays on your dashboard, alerting you to an issue, we would run a diagnostics check to understand the full extent and cause of the problem.

At Midlands Motor Care we use state of the art Snap on and Delphi diagnostic equipment which can read the engine fault codes in your ECU’s memory. We can then suggest any necessary repairs to rectify the error and get you back on the road quickly.

If you see dashboard warning light appear on your car, don’t delay and visit us as soon as you can so we can perform a quick diagnostic for you while you wait. We're sure to be available quickly to help you and you won't pay main vehicle dealership prices.
