What is Vehicle Diagnostics?

Modern vehicles use electronic control systems to monitor and manage many parts of the car. Vehicle diagnostics allows appropriate equipment to communicate with these systems and retrieve relevant diagnostic information.

At Flexible Motors, diagnostic information is considered alongside the symptoms and behaviour of the vehicle. This helps our technicians investigate the underlying issue rather than simply replacing parts based on a fault code.

A Diagnostic Test can Help Investigate:

  • Stored electronic fault codes
  • Engine management issues
  • Warning lights and system faults
  • ABS, SRS and other electronic systems
  • Transmission and emissions-related faults
