Diagnostics in Cambridge
Cambridge diagnostic testing covers the following
A large number of vehicle problems can be checked for using diagnostics, from checking that your car's components are working efficiently to finding out when problems exist with vehicles.
From checking temperature of air intake to testing engine speed, making sure air bag and air conditioning systems are working to finding out what ECUs a vehicle has installed, a knowledgeable Cambridge mechanical engineer can check your vehicle using wired up diagnostic apparatus or can use a portable scanner.
Diagnostic scanners are attached to your car via a vehicle EOBD connection and test results, of which a printed hard copy can be generated if using PC or computer based diagnostics, inform the garage about any underlying issues that are found and need to be resolved.
Information output analysis from activators and measured values
Two further vehicle aspects tested by diagnostic assessments are measured values and activators.
Live data is fed from measured values on diagnostic program displays when utilising scanning equipment to analyse car systems in Cambridge.
Features displayed include speed of the engine and voltage of the battery, coolant temperature and information from oxygen sensors.
By using an activator test, the effectiveness of activators can be checked.
Activator controls include cutting off the fuel pump, locking of both the steering wheel and the vehicle doors.
Resetting functions in ECUs in Cambridge
Further to undertaking car repair work in Cambridge, reconfiguration of functions may be required, e.g. Following replacement of a faulty control unit.
Other features may also need adjustment to extinguish error codes displaying on the control panel of your Seat. Examples of these functions are alarms, body control units and immobilisers.
Though error lights may identify areas where monitors and sensors are broken or not operating correctly, it's not always the case. Engine management system reprogramming can sometimes extinguish the light and solve the problem.
