Diagnostics
My engine warning light has come on, what does this mean?
If your check engine light is on it’s important that a technician inspects your
vehicle as soon as possible before further, more serious damage is caused to your
car engine, especially if your check engine light is flashing as this usually
indicates a serious problem or emergency.
As the most complex part of any vehicle, an engine fault could be caused by any
number of factors. It could be something quite trivial like a loose fuel cap but it
could be something much more serious like a faulty catalytic converter. In order to
diagnose a check engine light fault, an OBD2 scanner must be used to find out where
the issue lies.
At DP Garage, we can read your check engine light fault codes using our Bosch OBD II
diagnostic equipment to provide a full explanation of the issue. Our fully-trained
technicians can then suggest any necessary repairs that may be required to get you
back on the road and rectify the error so there’s no need to pay vehicle dealership
prices to diagnose your check engine light issue.
What does a diagnostic scanner check for?
Our diagnostics scanners check for faults across a wide range of vehicle systems
including engine management, tyres, emissions, lights and comfort controls. Live
data displays multiple values from around the engine to ensure all components are
working as expected when rectifying an issue.
Our diagnostic equipment can also be used to reset service lights, test and adjust
braking systems where an electronic handbrake is present, adjust headlamp levels and
much more.
What makes and models does your vehicle scanner cover?
Not sure what a specific BMW fault code means on your display? Has the check engine
light come on in your Ford?
No matter the manufacturer, by quickly plugging in our fault code scanner to your
ECU, we can read the fault codes displayed by all major vehicle makes and models
including Vauxhall, Audi, Mercedes and Volkswagen to name a few. Our diagnostic
technicians are on hand to explain and interpret the fault codes and give advice on
any remedial work required to fix the problem before it becomes serious.
