What can engine diagnostics be used for?

Vehicle diagnostics are a powerful tool for identifying and addressing problems such as engine misfires, starter motor failures, spark plug issues, rough idling and many other problems that can occur in your vehicle. Here’s how diagnostics testing at Onyx Autocentre can help resolve some of these issues:

1. Misfires

Diagnostic tools read error codes from the engine control unit (ECU) to pinpoint which cylinder is misfiring. They also monitor fuel delivery, air intake, and ignition systems. Repairs may include replacing faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors, or addressing air-fuel ratio imbalances.

2. Starter Motor Failures

The system checks the battery voltage, starter relay, and motor functionality through live data analysis and system checks. Solutions might involve replacing the starter motor, repairing faulty wiring, or addressing battery issues.

3. Spark Plug Issues

Misfires, poor ignition timing, or weak spark signals are identified through ECU error codes and inspection tools. Replacing worn-out spark plugs, adjusting the gap, or repairing ignition coils can resolve these issues.

4. Rough Idling

Live data from the ECU reveals irregularities in idle speed, fuel pressure, or air intake, while fault codes identify components causing the problem. Repairs might include cleaning or replacing the throttle body, addressing vacuum leaks, adjusting idle control valves, or repairing damaged sensors.
