When a warning light illuminates on your dashboard, an engine diagnostics check can help identify the problem before more serious damage occurs.
All modern cars contain on-board computers that monitor or control things like emissions levels, engine temperature and even brake light bulbs. The on-board computer is known as an Engine Control Unit (ECU) which continually monitors the performance of the vehicle. Sensors all around the vehicle report back to the ECU if there are problems such as low fluid levels or increased engine temperature.
When things go wrong, these computers produce error codes which can only be read with vehicle diagnostics equipment.
When an issue is identified the ECU generates an error code. You may see a warning light on your dashboard, but these only give a small part of the full picture. There are literally hundreds of potential error codes that can only be read by specialist vehicle diagnostic equipment.
