Here are a few examples of issues that require a car diagnostic test:
- Failed emissions test
- Windshield wipers not working
- Horn not working
- Reduced fuel economy
- Unusual noise when driving over bumps or when turning
- Illuminated check engine light or other dashboard warning light
Cars manufactured after the mid-1990s have on-board diagnostic equipment that communicates with electronic sensors all over your vehicle. If the sensors detect anything wrong or out of the ordinary, it sends a signal that activates a warning light on your dashboard.
An illuminated check engine light is the most common reason our customers need a diagnostic test. A check engine light can indicate many different issues ranging from a loose gas cap to serious engine failure. Our ASE Certified Technicians have the tools and training needed to find out if your check engine light is a quick fix or the sign of a larger issue.
