What is a diagnostic check?

When warning lights appear on your dashboard, it can be worrying! A detailed auto diagnostics check can identify the problem with your vehicle before damage occurs.

Modern vehicles possess an on-board computer called an Engine Control Unit (ECU), which constantly observes the performance for the vehicle. Sensors around the vehicle feedback to the ECU if there is a problem, from which the ECY will then generate an error code.

There is a wide range of potential error codes that can occur, many of which can only be examined by specialist vehicle diagnostic equipment. We are a friendly bunch of experienced mechanics and work with the most sophisticated car diagnostic equipment in Hull and the surrounding area.
