Different faults can create similar symptoms. Our diagnostic process can include:
- Scanning applicable control modules for stored and pending faults
- Reviewing live data under the conditions that reproduce the complaint
- Inspecting the affected mechanical, electrical or fluid system
- Pressure, leak, electrical or mechanical testing where required
- Confirming the exact engine, transmission or system configuration
