Warning lights and electrical faults can have several causes. We use diagnostic equipment and testing procedures to narrow down the issue before recommending repairs.

  • Check-engine light and warning-light diagnosis

  • Sensor and communication fault diagnosis

  • ECM/ECU and related module service, subject to vehicle coverage

ECM, ECU & module programming

Some vehicle modules require setup, configuration or programming after replacement. We can assess the vehicle and available coverage, then confirm whether the required programming service is supported for that make and model.

Programming availability varies by vehicle, module and security requirements. We’ll discuss the options before work begins.
