A Check Engine Light or Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL), is a tell-tale that a computerized engine-management system uses to indicate a fault or malfunction. Found on the instrument panel of most vehicles, it usually shows the wording; Engine, Check Engine, Service Engine Soon, Maintenance Required, Emissions Fault, Restricted Performance or a pictogram of an engine. When illuminated, it is typically an amber or red colour.
Warning lights can also appear when there is a fault with the ABS (Antilock Braking System) or Electronic Stability Control (ESC or ESP) system. If these warning lights illuminate whilst driving, these important safety systems will not work correctly.
Airbag and SRS (Supplementary Restraint System) warning lights can also appear on the dash. These systems control the deployment of airbags and seat belt pretensioners. If these lights are illuminated, occupant safety in the event of a collision is severely affected.
When the Check Engine Light or MIL is lit or other warning lights are illuminated when driving, the engine control unit (ECU), ABS, Airbag or SRS module stores a fault or multiple codes code related to the fault or malfunction, which can be retrieved using a diagnostic scan tool. These warning light can indicate a range of issues and should never be ignored. Our diagnostic scan tool connects to your vehicle via the diagnostic (OBD – On Board Diagnostic) connector.
Accurate fault diagnosis is critical. Delaying a diagnosis and repair could compromise the safety, reliability and fuel efficiency of your vehicle and lead to even bigger problems down the road.
Richmond Auto Service Centre is equipped with the latest diagnostic scan tools allowing us to accurately communicate with your vehicles on board computers. We have the training and experience to accurately diagnose and rectify complex and difficult to solve issues. We can read and clear fault codes, examine live data, check CAN bus communication (vehicle electronics communication protocol), perform service resets and adaptations.
