Frequently Asked Questions

A diagnostic scan can detect fault codes from the engine, transmission, electrical and emissions systems, along with data from various sensors. This helps identify problems that aren't always obvious from a visual inspection.

A warning light usually indicates a fault has been logged in the vehicle's system, and a diagnostic scan is the most reliable way to identify the exact cause. Ignoring a warning light can sometimes allow a minor issue to develop into a larger one.

Not always. Some issues, such as gradual wear or minor sensor faults, may not trigger a dashboard warning straight away, which is why periodic diagnostic checks can be useful even without an obvious symptom.
