Car Diagnostics FAQs
What happens during an engine diagnostic?
Engine diagnostics generally utilise the latest tools and technology to investigate potential issues present in a vehicle. Engine diagnostic procedures allow the mechanic to collect data regarding specific vehicular functions and faults, allowing them to identify causes of poor performance or malfunction, and carry out necessary adjustments or repairs.
During a diagnostic, an engine diagnostic machine will be connected to the vehicle’s computer, which then returns code specific to the manufacturer, which may be used by the mechanic to determine any issues with the vehicle, and potential causes.

What is a car diagnostic?
Diagnostics are a relatively new addition to the automotive service industry, having evolved alongside cars, which are now built to include processors, microchips, and sensors, all of which are constantly collecting and making use of data. Engine diagnostic procedures make use of this technology, allowing the mechanic to collect data regarding specific vehicular functions and faults.
During a diagnostic, an engine diagnostic machine will be connected to the vehicle’s computer, which then returns code specific to the manufacturer, which may be used by the mechanic to determine any problems with the vehicle, and their potential causes.

How often should I run a diagnostic test?
Diagnostics can be performed at any time, but should generally be performed if the check engine light is illuminated, or if there is a noticeable or sudden difference in the vehicle’s performance or function. Out with these issues, most manufacturers recommend undertaking a diagnostic check once annually. This will often assist in uncovering minor or developing issues, lowering repair costs significantly.
Diagnostic testing is also commonly used when purchasing a used car as an indicator of health, or to reveal any underlying issues.
What are the benefits of a diagnostic test?
There are many benefits to undertaking diagnostic tests, both on an infrequent, and regular basis. This list includes;
Fast detection - The computerised nature of diagnostic tests allows for the detection of potential issues long before they become prevalent.
Reduced labour costs – the ability of diagnostic consoles to access data regarding faults without necessitating stripping the vehicle can contribute to a reduction in labour costs.
History - diagnostic tools can often check a vehicle’s computer system for previously stored information regarding history, allowing for a more accurate diagnosis.
