What is a car diagnostic test?

Your car’s on-board computer is one of the auto industry’s best advancements. This technology and its specialized software enables technicians to pinpoint problems in your car engine in the problem’s earliest stages. This technology uses built-in processors, sensors and microchips, just like any other computer system.

Diagnostic tests communicate with your technician through specialized equipment. These tests reveal problems in the engine, exhaust system, brakes, transmission and other major parts. A diagnostic also finds performance issues related to air flow, coolant, throttle, ignition coils and the fuel injector. Using the code system, your mechanic can diagnose issues with the coil pack, a fuse, suspension, drive train or other problems affecting drivability.

Through use of code-reading tools, your auto repair technician learns which engine part is not functioning as it should. The code does not reveal the exact cause of the problem. But your friendly ASE-certified technicians of Triangle Car Care use what the diagnostic test shows them to find the problem more quickly, thanks to their advanced training.

Do I need diagnostic service if my check engine light is not on?

You should never wait until the dash light turns on, to take your car into Triangle Car Care for diagnostic service. As part of maintenance service and before your dash light illuminates, your repair expert uses diagnostic testing to find problems early. These diagnostic tools also tell your technician about your car’s history, so they can perform the best possible maintenance or diagnostic service.

You need routine maintenance that includes diagnostic service according to the schedule provided by your auto manufacturer. Anytime you feel something is not right with your car, your technician can also use this system of codes to uncover a problem. Your best bet is taking your car in for routine maintenance at least once a year, during which you receive a diagnostic test.

Additionally, when you are shopping for a used car, set an appointment with Triangle Car Care for pre purchase inspection on your chosen vehicle before you buy. When you do this, you get a clearer picture of the car you are buying and its potential problems

A network of sensors and switches convert and monitor engine operating conditions into electrical signals. The computer receives this information, and, based on information and instructions coded within this savvy computer program, commands are sent to three different systems: ignition, fuel, and emission control. Whenever a problem arises (as seen by that nagging “check engine” light), our service pros check whatever command is prompted, in addition to the status of your engine control computer and sensors. That way you’ll know if your vehicle’s performance is caused by a real problem, or just a sensor/computer issue.

Here’s A Brief Over Overview of Your Vehicle’s Sensory Components:

  • Mass airflow sensor

  • Throttle position sensor

  • Coolant temperature sensor
