What do I need to know about car diagnostics?

Most vehicles have internal functions (such as ignition systems, fuel injection systems and automatic transmission systems) that are regulated by computers. The computers receive data from various sensors to report certain problems, and then a light on the dashboard will illuminate to signal that the vehicle needs a diagnostic test. Not all car problems will be indicated on the dashboard as an illuminating light, so that’s why it’s important to have your vehicle regularly checked.

What can a car diagnostic test tell you?

A car diagnostics test can reveal a range of issues that your car could be experiencing from engine management to exhaust, brakes and more. It basically will tell you the health of the car’s computerized control units. Typically diagnostic tests will focus on the engine, but they can also provide information around lights, tyres and comfort controls.

How long does a car diagnostic take?

Most full car diagnostic tests take between an hour and 90 minutes to complete. If issues arise that cause complications, the time may increase to between two and three hours.

How can a car diagnostic test save you money?

A car diagnostic test can help you to save money by spotting problems in the early stages before the become bigger and more expensive issues. By letting a mechanic run a computerised diagnostic check, they can identify the root of any issues - so that they can fix only what needs to be fixed.

When do I need a car diagnostic test?

A car diagnostic will usually be recommended if you are experiencing issues that are affecting your ability to drive correctly. Car diagnostic tests are not a part of regular car maintenance, and they are used to check for issues that the mechanic cannot visually see.

They are particularly useful to do if you’re buying a used car, as although the car may not display any signs of physical damage, the test can highlight if there are any hidden issues that not obvious to the eye.

How often should your car undergo diagnostic testing?

On average, most mechanics would suggest that you take in your car in for a diagnostic test at least once a year. However, there are some things you can look out for that may signal you need to take your car in for a diagnostic test:

·       If the check engine light comes on your dashboard

·       If something feels ‘off’ – you know your car best. If something feels different or sounds different, you could be picking up on a real problem.

·       Buying a used car – Any honest private seller or professional car dealer should be happy to agree to a diagnostic test before you purchase. If they don’t, it’s a likely sign that you should walk away.
