What is an Engine Diagnostic?
Car engine diagnostics are tests that allow our technicians to identify and accurately diagnose the issues your Kia or other make of vehicle is facing. We can use the diagnostic from this service to prescribe the correct auto service needed to get your vehicle back in to full, safe operating condition again. We deliver high-caliber auto service Frederick drivers and beyond can trust when they need an engine diagnostic, or any other type of services.
What’s Involved in Engine Diagnostics?
Getting engine diagnostics done to your car involves the use of technology that comes standard with every vehicle sold or produced within the United States. Engine diagnostic tests necessitate the use of a tool called an Onboard Diagnostic Code Scanner. When using this scanner in combo with the Onboard Diagnostic System included in your vehicle, we are able to get a standardized code reading. The standard code we get from the ODCS pinpoints the issues your vehicle is having. That information lets the team at DARCARS Kia of Frederick quickly figure out what’s going on so we can better get to a proper service or repair. In 1996, the United States mandated every vehicle sold in the country to have an Onboard Diagnostic System. Because of this mandate, our mechanics will have your vehicle tested and moving on to repair in no time!
What Causes the Check Engine Light to Come On?
