What does a Code Read & Reset involve?
Our mobile code reading technician can visit you at your home or work place to perform a fault code reading to help determine the cause of the problem with your vehicle.
Connecting our dealer level diagnostic tool to your vehicle via the OBDII socket that is usually located under a plastic cover around the dashboard area allows us to begin reading the vehicles engine management system.
We will retrieve and record any stored fault codes & definitions e.g: FAULT CODE P1101 – MAF Sensor out of range.
With your permission, we will attempt to delete the stored fault codes. (sometimes there are old un-relavent codes left in the system from previous faults, clearing these will allow us to focus on the current returning fault codes).
Any returning codes will be noted on a Diagnostic Report sheet which will be left with you to keep. At that point we can give you an estimate for repairs with no obligation.

Any additional testing which requires part removal can be carried out in the workshop if required where we can carry out deeper diagnostics using traditional tools & techniques.
