Today’s vehicles have numerous onboard computers. You may not be aware of them or of the many adjustments they constantly make every minute so you can experience a smooth ride.

We have experienced technicians who are trained in using the latest scanning and testing equipment that help see hidden codes and errors your vehicle might be having. If your vehicle’s check engine light comes on we can tell you why, fix the problem and get you back on the road again.

Your Vehicles ECU

The ECU is in charge of several engine processes, including the mixture of air and fuel, emissions, and engine timing. The ECU uses sensors to monitor them or make adjustments. If the ECU detects malfunctions, it triggers the “check engine” light on the dashboard. The OBD system then records the code pertaining to the problem. The code can be accessed by a trained technician through engine diagnostic equipment in order to properly diagnose the issue.

Check Engine Light

Every vehicle has an engine light located on the dash, typically near the speedometer. This indicator illuminates when your vehicles computer system recognizes an issue with your vehicle. The check engine light indicator provides notification of a wide range of problems, from major repairs to simply a having a lose petrol cap.

Each vehicle from 1996 and newer has a diagnosis port called an OBD-II port. This vehicle diagnostic port allows our Bexley Auto Centre technicians to connect state-of-the-art diagnostic and calibration tools directly to your vehicles internal computer and immediately identify the problem, report the issue, and provide a repair that gets you and your family back on the road safely and confidently.
