Vehicle Diagnostics in Kidlington
Warning lights, poor running and electrical faults can have a number of different causes. JS Motors Oxford provides diagnostic testing and fault finding for cars and vans at our Kidlington workshop.
Our technicians use professional diagnostic equipment together with practical testing to identify the cause of the problem before recommending repairs.
Common Faults We Diagnose
Modern vehicles use electronic control units, sensors and modules across engine, emissions, electrical and safety systems.
Diagnostic Fault Finding
A diagnostic fault code provides information about the vehicle system where a problem has been detected. Further checks may be needed to identify the component or fault causing the problem.
Diagnostic Check
Diagnostic equipment is used to communicate with the vehicle's control systems, retrieve stored fault information and examine live data.
Further Testing
Our technicians can carry out further checks and tests based on the fault information and symptoms reported.
Fault Identification
Once the cause has been established, we can explain the fault and advise what repair work is required.
Diagnostic Equipment
Amongst other professional systems, JS Motors Oxford uses Snap-on diagnostic equipment for vehicle fault finding and diagnostic testing.
The equipment allows our technicians to access vehicle control systems, read stored fault information and live data, and carry out further diagnostic checks.
Vehicle Warning Lights
A warning light can indicate a fault affecting the engine, emissions, electrical or safety systems.
It can help to note when the warning appears — for example on start-up, under load or at speed — and whether there has been any change in the way the vehicle runs.
If a warning light is flashing or the vehicle feels unsafe, call us for advice before continuing to drive it.
