Computer Diagnostics FAQ
Computer Diagnostics Service at CARma Auto Care
What is a computer diagnostic for my vehicle?
Answer: A computer diagnostic is a thorough examination of your vehicle's onboard systems with specialized equipment. CARma Auto Care's ASE-certified technicians connect directly to your vehicle's computer to read trouble codes, performance data, and system alerts, allowing us to detect issues quickly and correctly.
How can I tell whether my automobile requires a diagnostic test?
Answer: If your check engine light illuminates, your vehicle stalls, idles roughly, or consumes more fuel than usual, it's time for a diagnostic. Even minor changes in performance can indicate underlying issues that a scan can uncover early, saving you time and money on larger repairs later.
How long does it take to complete a diagnostic test?
Answer: Most diagnostic tests at CARma Auto Care last 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the problem. Complex problems or many system codes may take longer to resolve, but we will always explain what we are checking and keep you updated throughout the process.
What kind of issues may a computer diagnostic detect?
Answer: A diagnostic scan can detect faults with almost every key system in your car, including the engine, transmission, brakes, exhaust, and sensors. It can also detect problems with electronic components such as airbags and the anti-lock braking system (ABS).
