What Does an Engine Diagnostic Mean?

An engine diagnostic is a reliable and quick test our technicians can perform on your vehicle to pinpoint the problems your car is facing. From the transmission to the exhaust system to the oil system and more, an engine diagnostic helps us get a system-wide diagnostic. This means quicker and more reliable repairs for you, which in turn means less guesswork and more driving!

How Does an Engine Diagnostic Test Work?

Engine diagnostics are actually pretty cool! They use technology that comes as a standard part of every vehicle sold in the United States. Engine diagnostic tests use something called an Onboard Diagnostic Code Scanner. When we use this scanner alongside the Onboard Diagnostic System included in your vehicle, we get a code. That code tells us what's wrong with your vehicle. That info lets the team at DARCARS Kia of Temple Hills take immediate action and recommend a course of action or repair needed to correct that problem. From 1996 onward, the United States required every vehicle sold in the country to include an Onboard Diagnostic System. Due to that policy, our technicians get your vehicle tested, diagnosed, and repaired in record time!

Why is My Check Engine Light On?

If we could tell you why your check engine light is on just with the words on this page, we totally would! Sadly, that's not possible (unless we got really lucky with our guess). There are various reasons your check engine light could be on ranging from oil issues to exhaust issues. Bring your vehicle in to DARCARS Kia of Temple Hills so we can get moving with an engine diagnostic in Temple Hills, MD.

How Frequently Do I Need Engine Diagnostic Tests?

You don't need to obsessively get engine diagnostic tests, but we do recommend getting one at least once a year so you can catch any potential problems sooner rather than when they become a serious problem. Of course, any time your vehicle has issues, bring it by DARCARS Kia of Temple Hills immediately so we can get you safely back on the road.

My Check Engine Light Came Back?

Sometimes your check engine light may come back after a repair or auto service. Again, don't worry! There may be a separate issue happening or your vehicle may just need it's check engine light reset. Let the DARCARS Kia of Temple Hills auto service team help you out. Give us a call or schedule service.
