Engine Diagnostic

Are you having problems with your engine management? 

Our Bosch system enables us to:

Read and clear stored and pending engine fault codes

       Switch off the Engine management light

       View live engine information in meter or graph format

       Read freeze-frame engine management data

       View fuel-system status

       Record and playback engine sensor data

Print customer fault code reports

View on-board test completion status (inspection/maintenance tests)

View a built-in database of over 15,000 fault code definitions (generic and manufacturer-specific)

it will read and display the fault codes from the ECU that controls the car engine. It will also allow us to view live data with the engine running such as RPM, road speed, sensor readings (including mass air flow sensors and oxygen sensor voltages)

If there is a fault within an engine or exhaust/emissions system, e.g. misfires, poor idling, stalling, the engine control unit (ECU) will normally record the problem in the form of a fault code.

Depending on the severity of the code, and the number of times the engine has seen the fault, it will often switch on the Engine Management light on the dashboard.

This light is designed to alert the driver to a whole range of faults, e.g. an engine sensor reading out of range, high exhaust emissions, wiring fault etc, that may be affecting engine running, and hence affecting emissions.

If the light is flashing, this indicates a more-serious fault that might be damaging the catalytic converter. In this instance, the car should not be driven until the fault has been investigated and repaired.

If the car's Engine management light is on we can read the fault code that has caused this and also clear the codes (resetting the ECU) which will switch the Engine Management light off.
