How To Determine The Meaning of an OBD Code

An OBD code can be read when there's a light on your dash. Using sophisticated equipment, a technician can get a number that corresponds to a component malfunction. Only a truly skilled mechanic can find the meaning in the code, however. At Prestige Tire & Auto Service Center, our mechanics have the experience, training, and skill to make the right repairs.Schedule an appointment for effective, affordable car repair Saugerties NY
The Code
The OBD code is more than a number. It can only be understood in relationship to your exact make, model and year. Models can have the same code but the answers vary greatly. The same code on a Honda will not always translate in the same repair on a Toyota. If an uninformed mechanic pursues the repair, the wrong component may be fixed and the real problem continue without a fix. Whether it's your engine light or another warning light, you need expert help to solve the problem. Use our online scheduler for expert car repair Saugerties NY.
Accuracy
An OBD code narrows the focus, but it can't indicate the exact cause of the problem. There's a lot at stake when it comes to getting it right the first time. The mechanic must decide if it is a bad module, a bad sensor, or simply a dirty sensor that needs cleaning. If the sensor is correct, then it may be one or more mechanical components. Prestige Tire & Auto Service Center technicians will get to the root of the problem. OEM parts will help ensure the best repairs.
If you have a warning light on the dash, get expert help from Prestige Tire & Auto Service Center.
