What is an Engine Diagnostic Service?
Engine diagnostics are tests auto technicians use to quickly determine what problems your vehicle is experiencing. This allows mechanics to get started on repair faster and spend less time diagnosing through guesswork. When you come in, we will get started quickly so we can get you back on the road not just safer, but sooner as well.
What All Does an Engine Diagnostic Involve?
Engine diagnostic tests involve using some universal tech included in almost all vehicles sold and produced in the United States. Engine diagnostics use an Onboard Diagnostic Code Scanner that receives a code from a vehicle. The code we get from the ODCS tells us what problems your vehicle is experiencing, which helps direct what repairs are needed to correct any problems. In 1996, the United States mandated that every vehicle sold in the country has to have an Onboard Diagnostic System. This allows the auto service center at DARCARS Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM of Silver Spring to perform a diagnostic on just about every vehicle we work on!
