COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS

CAR COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS (ALSO KNOWN AS OBD-II DIAGNOSTICS) IS THE PROCESS OF USING A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL TO ACCESS AND READ DATA FROM A CAR’S COMPUTER SYSTEM, HELPING TO IDENTIFY AND TROUBLESHOOT ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. MODERN CARS ARE EQUIPPED WITH ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMS THAT MONITOR AND CONTROL VARIOUS COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE, FROM THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION TO EMISSIONS AND SAFETY FEATURES. THESE SYSTEMS CAN DETECT ISSUES AND STORE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) THAT CAN BE ACCESSED BY A MECHANIC OR CAR OWNER TO UNDERSTAND WHAT’S WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.
