What does a diagnostics test involve?
A vehicle diagnostic is a process that involves using specialised equipment to identify any issues or problems with the car’s various systems and components. The diagnostic process typically involves the following steps:
Connecting diagnostic equipment: A technician will connect a diagnostic tool to the vehicle's onboard computer system (also known as the OBD system) via a port typically located under the dashboard. This tool will allow the technician to communicate with the vehicle's various systems and sensors.
Running diagnostic tests: Once the diagnostic tool is connected, the technician will run a series of tests to check the vehicle's various systems and components, including the engine, transmission, brakes and emissions control systems. These tests may include checking for error codes, running system checks and conducting performance tests.
Analysing results: The diagnostic tool will generate a report that lists any issues or problems detected during the tests. The technician will analyse the report to determine what repairs or maintenance services are necessary.
Providing recommendations: Based on the diagnostic results, the technician will provide recommendations for repairs or maintenance services that are needed to address any issues or problems with the vehicle. This may include replacing faulty components, repairing damaged systems, or conducting routine maintenance services such as oil changes or brake inspections.
