CVS Motors - Diagnostics Test

Engine diagnostics and fault code repairs

Most modern vehicles are fitted with an engine control unit (ECU) that contains sensors to vital components within your car. The ECU helps to identify when temperatures are too high, fluids get too low or any car parts are wearing or experiencing problems. When you get warning lights on your dashboard, your ECU is letting you know that there is a problem with your car.

Warning lights and what they mean

There are a number of different warning lights on a car dashboard, these are normally specific to your make and model, so it’s always best to check your manufacturer’s manual if a warning light appears on your dashboard. The most common warning lights tend to be the engine light, the battery, coolant temperature, oil pressure warning or the braking system. These lights are pretty self-explanatory but it is important to double check what they could mean. Whilst these lights can let you know that a fault has occurred with a system in your car, it doesn’t identify where exactly the fault is coming from. This is why we perform a diagnostic test on your vehicle so that we can accurately and efficiently find the exact location of the problem.

Specialist diagnostic equipment

At CVS Motors, we have the latest technology in engine diagnostic tests to ensure we find the cause of your warning lights. When your car comes in for a diagnostic test, we’ll connect your vehicle to our diagnostic equipment which identifies your specific make and model. It then connects to the ECU in your car and scans the system to find a series of fault codes. These codes are then translated by our mechanics so we can pinpoint the location of the fault.
