Diagnostics
Computers have reshaped the way we do business in many industries, including the automobile industry. If you’ve bought a car within the last 50 years, your car is a mixture of mechanical parts and computers such as the powertrain control module (PCM). Computers like the PCM act as control centers for your car, monitoring and controlling hundreds of automobile functions including ignition, air-to-gas ratio, and transmission. If your automobile’s PCM breaks down, your car’s performance will suffer soon after.
If you have a faulty PCM and your car is experiencing drops in performance, allow Burbank Automotive to leverage the power of computers to pinpoint the issue with your vehicle and restore its effectiveness.
How Technology Helps Us Understand the Check Engine Light
The PCM acts like an onboard diagnostic computer, making adjustments and ensuring the highest possible efficiency for your vehicle. The PCM activates the “check engine” light when it senses something wrong or if the PCM itself is beginning to falter. While the check engine light is a helpful indicator, it is still unclear about what the specific issue with your engine is. A check engine light could indicate a loose gas cap, bad spark plugs, or any number of engine malfunctions. It takes the discerning eye of an expert with help from technology to diagnose what is wrong with your engine.
If you want more insight as to why the “check engine” light is on or if you need to troubleshoot your PCM, Burbank Automotive has computer diagnostics machines and scanners that can provide unique insights into the state of your vehicle and PCM.
