We use one of the best Automotive Diagnostic tools available. The Launch X-431.

The Launch X-431 covers around 30 different manufacturers, making it a very versatile tool.

Using an open-platform based on LINUX system and with the help of a SMARTBOX platform and various onboard diagnostic sockets, the scan tool can perform functions like reading Digital Trouble Code, erasing Digital Trouble Code, reading data stream tests on automotive engines, Automatic Transmission, ABS, Airbags and Cruise Control. Other functions include actuation test, communication with computer, etc.

Engine Warning Lights - We can clear and reset all service and warning lights including airbags and ABS (an ABS light on is an M.O.T. failure as well as informing you of a fault).

Also has a built-in printer with real-time printout of test data, needed for any remedial work needed to be carried out at a garage.

Don’t worry if you have an older vehicle as it will cover most makes which are pre OBD, all cars from 1999 came with a 16 pin diagnostic port.

We have a sensor box which is used for fault finding when no trouble codes have been stored. This is left plugged into your diagnostic port for 3-4 days so it stores any codes not normally found. A £50 refundable surcharge applies.
