What stands for the computer car diagnostics? Why the future belongs to the equipment from MSG Equipment?

The modern vehicles are equipped with the high-tech electronic systems for the steady and safe operation. The errors that appear in the systems result in the serious malfunctions and failures. Commonly, the most expensive units and components of car break that leads to the big expenses.

To accurately and quickly determine the reason of failure, the computer diagnostics of car is required. Generally, the computer diagnostics evaluates the condition of car system components, eliminating the disassembling of car.

The diagnostics enables:

• Evaluation of the condition of units, assemblies, control units to determine the failure reason;
• Detection of the hidden damages;
• Testing of the operating mechanisms.

Computer diagnostics goals and tasks

The computer diagnostics is required to find the software failure or the failure of the complicated elements and mechanisms. During the diagnostics, the data are read and the detected error codes are processed.

The diagnostic equipment consists of the devices such as follows:

• scanners for the diagnostics of the specific car makes and models;
• multifunctional test benches;
• portable testers.

The computer diagnostics aspects

The diagnostic equipment is connected to the vehicle diagnostic connector or to the diagnosed unit. The special devices for the diagnostics can detect any changes in the operation of the different systems as well as they can erase the detected error codes to determine if the failure is fixed.

The driver can know about the failures of only critical systems when he sees the errors on the instrumental panel. The in-vehicle system of modern car is equipped with the electronic control unit that can also operate as a diagnostic device. It evaluates the condition of the main car systems and warns the driver about the malfunctions and failures.

To prevent the failures of car systems, you should carry out the computer diagnostics on a regular basis.

Overall car diagnostics

The computer diagnostics enables the inspection of the systems that are controlled by electronics. However, there are many automotive units which the computer diagnostics can’t check.

Therefore, we strongly recommend to carry out the annual overall diagnostics of car. Ideally, the diagnostics has to be made prior to the winter and summers seasons. Besides, there are other reasons to carry out the urgent overall diagnostics:

• abnormal behaviour of a car when you drive;
• after car accident;
• prior to the purchase of used car.

Here’s the list of the units and systems that have to be checked as thoroughly as possible:

• Engine – the ‘heart’ of car and very complicated mechanism. To check it and reveal any malfunctions, the automotive oscilloscopes are used.
• Climate control system – makes the driving comfort all the year round. The integrity, capacity and the amount of refrigerant in the system – these parameters are the first to be checked.
• Electrical system. The overall diagnostics makes it possible to reveal and fix the weakest points of the wiring, repair the alternator or starter as well as the other important elements including the daytime running lights, fender lamps, headlights etc.
• Brakes and drivetrain. Make sure that the components such as Airbag, ABS, brake calipers, tie rods, struts, ball joint ends, arm bushings etc. operate properly.
