FAQ
Numerous dire problems can go undetected, and are very nearly impossible for even a certified technician to identify without a professional diagnostic tool. And if your check-engine light is on, engine diagnostic maintenance is the effective way to determine precisely why. There are a number of likely reasons for a lightened and/or flashing check-engine light:
Frequently scheduled engine service (such as an oil change) may be due
Sensors or brake system may need reset or adjustment
Engine, electrical, or vehicle computer performance concerns
Your vehicle provides crucial information in dashboard lights. If the check-engine light is illuminated, you must take your vehicle into service as soon as possible.
Nevertheless, for optimum vehicle safety and dependability, engine checks should be a part of your yearly vehicle maintenance, even if no check-engine light is on or flashing.
Vehicle fluid-exchange services may help:
As both your heat and air conditioner work off of the same coolant, flushing and filling your radiator’s antifreeze keeps your engine running cooler and helps avoid overheating, freezing, and corrosion
Over time the anti-corrosion and lubricating properties in coolant begin to stop and let potential engine-damaging rust, corrosion, and mineral deposits to form all through the cooling system
Replacing your radiator’s antifreeze coolant is believed rudimentary maintenance and most manufacturers advise that you have your cooling system serviced annually
Changing belts and hoses at the earliest sign of wear helps prevent unanticipated breakdowns and the engine damage that overheating can cause. More precisely:
Leaking or cracked coolant hose(s) can cause an overheated engine or a vehicle breakdown
Power-steering hoses are vital to safe vehicle operation
A damaged or worn-out belt can leave your vehicle inoperable
Belts and hoses are crucial parts of your engine and cooling system. To prevent problems, your hoses should be checked at each oil change. Belts usually need to be changed every 50,000 km – 100,000 km.
Clues that you ought to have your belts checked comprise of:
Cracks in the belt material
Splitting, peeling or wearing belts
You engine sounds like its running rough or stalls out at a stop
You hear knocking or pinging sounds when accelerating or after the ignition is turned off
Your check-engine light remains on after your initial start
Standard vehicle usage affects various parts of your engine to drop their efficiency due to under-the-hood temperature and vibration.
Frequent tune-ups help preserve vehicle safety and performance by making sure that worn or faulty parts are replaced on time
Tune-ups can help you gain maximum fuel efficiency and vehicle performance
Tune-ups are a significant part of usual vehicle maintenance and must be planned annually. You should schedule a tune-up faster if you observe any of the following:
Your gas mileage is declining
You feel a loss of power or torque
Your engine sounds like its running rough or stalls out at a stop
You hear knocking or pinging sounds when accelerating or after the ignition is turned off
Your check engine light remains on after your initial start
Over time, your vehicle’s vital fluids, together with transmission, brake, and power-steering fluids, drop their ability to clean, cool, lubricate, and flow freely, possibly leading to problems such as transmission overheating and/or failure.
Vehicle fluid-exchange services may help:
Improve vehicle performance
Extend the life of your transmission
Restore fuel-system efficiency for optimal fuel economy
Prevent future costly fuel-system repairs
Your brake fluid, power-steering fluid, and transmission fluid levels should be checked and topped off at every oil change. Moreover, fuel system flushes must normally be performed annually or every 24,000 km while automatic transmission fluid flushes are advised every two years or 40,000 km.
You may consider scheduling a fluid-exchange service sooner if you notice any of the following:
Fluid stains in your driveway or parking spot
Frequent fluid top-offs required
Dashboard warning lights come on
Driveline mechanisms are in control of transmitting power from your engine and carrying the torque to your vehicle’s wheels, to give you the most responsive handling and speed possible. Driveline mechanisms usually consist of the drive shaft and universal joints.
If you notice a vibration or rumbling noise when you’re driving down the highway, you may be feeling a driveline vibration
Squeaking, grinding, clunking, or loud metal-on-metal chirping sounds can signify worn and/or unlubricated universal joints
Be sure to check your owner’s manual for specific recommendations for appropriate care, lubrication intervals, and lubricants to be used
