What is an Engine Diagnostics Test?

Your vehicle’s Engine Control Unit (ECU) constantly monitors key systems, including the ignition, fuel injection, sensors, and emissions. When a problem is detected, the ECU logs an error code, but only professional diagnostics tools can interpret these codes accurately.

At AN Tyres, our engine diagnostics service is designed to:

  • Read and analyze fault codes stored in the ECU.
  • Identify performance problems affecting speed, fuel consumption, and emissions.
  • Diagnose electrical and mechanical faults before they escalate.

Signs Your Car Needs a Diagnostic Test

Ignoring small engine issues can result in bigger mechanical failures. If you notice any of these warning signs, your car may need a car diagnostic check:

Check Engine Light is On

Your dashboard warning light is the first sign of trouble. While it could be something minor, it’s best to get a diagnostics test immediately to rule out serious issues.

Loss of Power or Sluggish Acceleration

If your car feels slower than usual, hesitates when accelerating, or struggles uphill, this could indicate problems with the fuel system, ignition, or airflow sensors.

Increased Fuel Consumption

Are you visiting the petrol station more often? Faulty oxygen sensors, clogged injectors, or inefficient fuel combustion could be driving up fuel consumption.

Unusual Engine Noises

If you hear knocking, rattling, or ticking, it could mean timing issues, misfires, or loose components inside your engine.

Excessive Smoke from the Exhaust

Different types of smoke indicate different problems:
Black smoke – Too much fuel being burned.
White smoke – Possible coolant leak or head gasket issue.
Blue smoke – Engine oil is burning, which may indicate worn-out piston rings.

Rough Idling, Stalling, or Hard Starting

An engine that shakes, stalls, or takes too long to start could have ignition system issues, fuel delivery problems, or sensor malfunctions.
