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.
