With many years experience, across a very broad range of vehicles, Auto Workshop offers a well tried and tested approach to diagnostics. Whatever the problem, we’re happy to have a look at it for you..!

 

What is Diagnostics..?

Diagnostics refers to the fault finding or troubleshooting process. It can be applied to ANY system on a vehicle, whether it is mechanical, electrical or hydraulic.

When something goes wrong, and the cause is not clear, you need diagnostics.

 

Often faults are easy to fix because the cause is obvious (i.e. The car won’t start - The battery has gone flat). Sometimes the symptom is obvious (i.e. The car wont start) but the cause is not so obvious and we need to dig a little deeper to discover what’s really going on.

The diagnostics process goes something like this...

 

· The problem is usually identified by the customer: i.e. The car won’t start.

· The first stage in the diagnostic process is to discover what is causing the symptom: i.e. The car wont start because there is no spark at the spark plugs.

· Once the cause has been identified we can then work on finding out what is responsible for the problem: i.e. There is no spark at the spark plugs because the ignition module has failed.

· Once we know what’s causing the problem we can implement a repair/replacement of the faulty component: i.e. Replace/repair the ignition module.

 

Our highly competent technicians will test appropriate parts of a particular system making sure that everything is within specified limits (It’s not enough to just look for a fault and then repair it, there maybe more than one fault). It is imperative to any truly effective diagnostic process to check that everything is right rather than just look for what is wrong..!

 

Many different tools can be used for diagnostics. At Auto Workshop we use a range of diagnostic equipment including a state of the art Carman Scan tool which we use to ‘talk to’ the all of the vehicles on board ECUs (Electronic Control Units).
