Car Engine Problems & Fault Diagnosis in Reading Berkshire

Complex Car Electronics

The complexity of the electronics in todays cars means there are now hundreds of mini systems for the brain (ECU) of the car to monitor. This in-turn means there are hundreds of mini-systems which can fail or become faulty.

The implications of a failure of any one of these systems can be potentially catastrophic to a car owner. Especially those with cars that are no longer covered by a manufacturers warranty. Of course there are systems in place to alert the driver to engine problems when they arise. You have probably seen the 'check engine light' in your own car at some point. However, not all faults and malfunctions will illuminate this engine management warning light and very often not until it is too late.
