WHY CAR DIAGNOSTICS ARE IMPORTANT
Over the last few years, vehicles have become much more complex and car diagnostics systems are used in an effort to cut emissions and to make cars more fuel-efficient.
One of the consequences of this is a much heavier reliance on state of the art electronic control systems throughout the modern motor vehicle, some cars have in excess of 10 electronic control units.
Year on year the electronics become more complicated and although modern motor vehicles are reliable, modern electrical problems can be quite complex and it is definitely no longer an area where the individual should try his or her DIY skills.
That is where we come in: using specialist equipment we can diagnose 90% of problems usually within a few minutes.
EOBD stands for European on Board Diagnostics
At the EOBD port, we can plug in specialist electronic scan tools and take information or live data from various control units that are in the vehicle.
In the case of a warning light on your instrument panel, we would interrogate that particular system using car diagnostics and reset any fault codes or advise of any problems.
What car diagnostics do we check?
We cover around 90% of vehicles, even more on the engine management side as the EOBD protocol is an industry-standard in Europe.
What car diagnostics systems do we cover?
This varies from one vehicle to another, but typically car diagnostics cover the following systems:
- Engine Management Systems
- Airbag/SRS Systems
- ABS/Traction Control Systems
- Air Conditioning Systems
- Automatic Transmission Systems
- CANbus Systems
- Chassis Network Systems
- Diesel Management Systems
- Immobiliser Systems
- Key encode Systems
- Service Light Resetting
Later vehicles have now got a CANbus system which is a very complex digital system that significantly reduces wiring requirements. Introduced by BOSCH the CANbus system is now and Internation Standard (ISO 11898).
A single pair of cables is all that is required to carry streams of data to control and operate many different functions of a vehicle at the same time.
