Code Diagnoses

Modern vehicles are equipped with complex computer systems that monitor everything from engine performance to safety features. When a dashboard warning light comes on, it’s an indication that your vehicle’s onboard diagnostics system has detected a problem. At B&B Auto and RV in Farmington, NH, we specialize in professional code diagnoses to accurately identify and resolve issues affecting your car, truck, RV, or camper. Our skilled technicians use advanced diagnostic tools to read trouble codes, pinpoint problems, and provide effective solutions to keep your vehicle running smoothly and safely.

Understanding Check Engine Lights and Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)

When your vehicle’s check engine light or other warning lights illuminate, it triggers a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) stored in the vehicle’s computer system. These codes provide valuable information about what may be wrong with your vehicle, ranging from minor issues like a loose gas cap to more severe problems like engine misfires or transmission faults. At B&B Auto and RV, we use state-of-the-art diagnostic scanners and software to read and interpret these codes, ensuring a thorough and accurate diagnosis.

Comprehensive Diagnostic Process

At our shop in Farmington, NH, we follow a meticulous diagnostic process to ensure we identify the root cause of any issue. Our technicians connect your vehicle to a diagnostic scanner, retrieve the trouble codes, and analyze the data to understand what’s causing the problem. We go beyond just reading the codes; we perform a complete inspection of the related systems and components to ensure we provide a comprehensive diagnosis. This thorough approach prevents unnecessary repairs and helps save you time and money.

Common Issues Detected by Diagnostic Codes

There are hundreds of possible diagnostic trouble codes that can be triggered by a variety of issues, including:

• Engine Performance Problems: Misfires, ignition coil failures, and fuel injector issues can trigger check engine lights.
• Emissions System Faults: Issues with the catalytic converter, oxygen sensors, and EVAP system can lead to a variety of codes indicating emissions problems.
• Transmission Issues: Transmission-related codes often indicate problems with shifting, solenoids, or fluid levels.
• Electrical System Failures: Faulty sensors, wiring issues, or module failures can trigger various warning lights.
• ABS and Traction Control Problems: Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and traction control issues are commonly associated with faulty sensors or wiring problems.

Whatever the issue, our experienced team at B&B Auto and RV is ready to provide the right solution to get you back on the road safely.
