Preliminary Diagnostic Code Scan

CAR DIAGNOSTICS EXPLAINED

Calling a code scan of your vehicle's diagnostics system actual"diagnostics" is like calling a slice of bread a sandwich.

A code scan literally reads the error log on the ECU and reports the fault codes (DTCs) found. These fault codes are a pre-programmed response to any variance in expected data values. They generally only relate to faults that are monitored by electronic sensors. A physical mechanical fault will not necessarily trigger an error code log. Hence that a code scan is not the same as a proper diagnosis of the fault.

At PSC we price our Preliminary Diagnostics Scan to be an affordable method of gaining an initial understanding of your vehicle's fault codes. Based on those findings we will offer you various options on how to proceed in obtaining a correct diagnosis and repair of the issue you're experiencing.

In most cases, 8 out of 10 times, our technicians are able to resolve issues within the Preliminary Diagnostic Session. Not only are customer concerns resolved but, more importantly, the cause of the problem is addressed to ensure that issue will arise again in the future. Our facility houses state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to ensure our customers’ vehicles are diagnosed quickly and correctly the FIRST time.

NO GUESSWORK. JUST LOGICAL & ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS

Advanced diagnostics is about identifying the actual cause of the problems with your car accurately. We use a multitude of in depth procedures to test the cars systems for variances from the programmed expected values.

After the initial preliminary code scan readout gives us an idea of what sort of faults are occurring, our diagnostic team can formulate a test plan to find out exactly where the problem lies.

We use logic. Not guesswork.

Any garage can read your vehicle's codes. But can they correctly and methodically diagnose the issue?

We have all the equipment and years of hard earned experience needed to find any fault.
