What is a Diagnostic Scan?
A diagnostic scan uses advanced equipment to communicate with your car’s onboard computer system, retrieving fault codes that pinpoint the nature and location of problems. It can reveal issues in:
- Engine management systems
- Fuel and ignition systems
- Transmission and drivetrain
- Exhaust and emissions systems
- Braking and ABS systems
By identifying the exact issue, a diagnostic scan saves time, avoids unnecessary repairs, and ensures your car gets the attention it needs.
What Does the Engine Management Light Mean?
The engine management light is a warning indicator signaling an issue within your vehicle’s engine or related systems. Common triggers include:
- Faulty Sensors: Issues with oxygen, mass airflow, or temperature sensors
- Exhaust or Emissions Problems: Malfunctioning catalytic converter or EGR valve
- Fuel System Issues: Problems with fuel injectors or the fuel pump
- Ignition Faults: Worn spark plugs or coils
- Loose Components: A loose fuel cap or other minor issues
A flashing engine management light typically indicates a serious issue, such as a misfire, requiring immediate attention to prevent engine damage.
Why You Shouldn’t Ignore the Engine Management Light
Ignoring the engine management light can lead to:
- Reduced Performance: Faults can affect fuel efficiency and power.
- Increased Emissions: Problems may lead to MOT failure.
- Potential Damage: Delaying repairs can result in more costly issues.
Book a diagnostic scan as soon as the light comes on to address problems early.
