VEHICLE DIAGNOSTICS IN NORTHAMPTON

My engine warning light has come on, what does this mean?

If your check engine light is on it’s important that a technician inspects your vehicle as soon as possible before further, more serious damage is caused to your car engine, especially if your check engine light is flashing as this usually indicates a serious problem or emergency.

As the most complex part of any vehicle, an engine fault could be caused by any number of factors. It could be something quite trivial like a loose fuel cap but it could be something much more serious like a faulty catalytic converter. In order to diagnose a check engine light fault, an OBD2 scanner must be used to find out where the issue lies.

At PB Garage, we can read your check engine light fault codes using our Bosch OBD II diagnostic equipment to provide a full explanation of the issue. Our fully-trained technicians can then suggest any necessary repairs that may be required to get you back on the road and rectify the error so there’s no need to pay vehicle dealership prices to diagnose your check engine light issue.

What does a diagnostic scanner check for?

Our diagnostics scanners check for faults across a wide range of vehicle systems including engine management, tyres, emissions, lights and comfort controls. Live data displays multiple values from around the engine to ensure all components are working as expected when rectifying an issue.



Our diagnostic equipment can also be used to reset service lights, test and adjust braking systems where an electronic handbrake is present, adjust headlamp levels and much more.

What makes and models does your vehicle scanner cover?

Not sure what a specific BMW fault code means on your display? Has the check engine light come on in your Ford?

No matter the manufacturer, by quickly plugging in our fault code scanner to your ECU, we can read the fault codes displayed by all major vehicle makes and models including Vauxhall, Audi, Mercedes and Volkswagen to name a few. Our diagnostic technicians are on hand to explain and interpret the fault codes and give advice on any remedial work required to fix the problem before it becomes serious.
