Diagnostics

As vehicles become more and more reliant on their on-board computers, the Engine Control Unit (ECU), the likelihood of the Engine Management Light (EML) illuminating on the dashboard increases. This is also known as the Engine Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or Check Engine Light, and if the light is illuminated, it is now an instant MOT fail! Avoid MOT failure and book an engine diagnostic scan for only £34.99 today!

The ECU constantly monitors and processes information from many sensors around the vehicle, and should anything not seem right, the ECU will illuminate the EML on your dashboard to notify the driver of a potential issue. When this happens, it’s important to run an engine diagnostic scan on the vehicle at the next available opportunity, to limit the amount of potential damage to the vehicle and find out the reason why the EML has illuminated.

Throttle Motors offer a full engine diagnostic scan using market leading diagnostic tools for only £34.99, and will provide a report on all of the fault codes responsible for illuminating the EML.

We can then supply a quote to carry out the work necessary to prevent the EML illuminating again for same issue, and ensure that the fault code is cleared after this work has been carried out.

Ensuring that the EML or MIL is not illuminated is even more important than ever now, as from May 2018 an illuminated Engine Management Light, Malfunction Indicator Lamp or Engine Check Light is an instant MOT failure. If your vehicle is due its MOT, or has failed its MOT due to an illuminated EML or MIL, avoid future MOT failure by booking an engine diagnostic scan for your car or van online today!
