The Car Doctor’s engine diagnostic system analyzes the control computer in your car to see if all is working properly. This diagnostic test examines sensors, computer processors, and microchips to see exactly what is going on with your vehicle.

Sensors and switches throughout the car monitor and convert the operating conditions into an electrical signal Once the signal is received by the computer, it sends the information to three different systems:

• Ignition
• Fuel
• Emissions control

When the computer indicates there is a problem within one of these systems, it causes a “check engine” light to turn on. We’ll let you know if the “check engine” is a real problem, or just a sensor/computer issue.
