Modern vehicles contain more and more technology – they are effectively computers on four wheels. Unfortunately that technology can cause problems just as a PC can. Vehicles have a fault memory that stores a great deal of information about malfunctions.
When Should You Have the Fault Memory Read?
Are you experiencing problems with your vehicle and possibly seeing a warning message on the dashboard? To get to the bottom of the cause, it is worth having the fault memory read. The memory stores all malfunctions in the areas of:
- mechanics and general technology
- sensors and electronics
- as well as the technical data of the vehicle
Typical reasons include an illuminated engine warning light, rough running, loss of performance or increased fuel consumption.
Duration and Cost
The fault memory is read in our workshop using the Launch tester and usually takes a maximum of 30 minutes. On request you will then receive a printout of the fault report.With the Launch tester, we can read all common makes, including all Asian models and electric vehicles.
Reading the Codes Is the Beginning, Not the End
A fault code names the symptom, not always the cause. We therefore assess the result together with you and explain which components may actually be affected – rather than simply clearing the message and waiting.
