Different Types of Automotive Diagnostic Equipments

by Jessica W. Writer
For those amongst us who own a vehicle, encountering a glitch or malfunction with it can be very annoying as well as frustrating. Moreover, since most functions in modern day cars, vans, trucks, etc., are controlled solely by a highly advanced computer, it becomes almost impossible sometimes to determine the origin or cause of any glitch. When that happens, the main solution that pops up in our mind is taking the vehicle to a mechanic and getting the problem resolved. 

However, using the right car tools and equipment can help to locate as well as analyse such issues with ease. Such tools are known as automotive diagnostics, and they can be purchased from any hardware or automotive shop. Not only are these devices extremely user-friendly, but they can also save the expenses of getting a mechanic to run tests for identifying the problems. With just some mundane knowledge about the purpose and function of each equipment, it would be easy to eliminate a glitch and restore the vehicle to its former state.

Let us have a look at some of the popular automotive diagnostic tools:

  • Diagnostic Analysers – These scanners are embedded with a diagnostic software and come in various models for use by newbies as well as technicians.

  • Cooling System – This device is used for diagnosing glitches in cooling system of vehicles with the help of antifreeze testers and temperature gauges.

  • Compression Testers – Compression testers are generally used for detecting problems in those components that rely on the pressure within a vehicle. They help to examine the nature of the problem accurately, which is extremely important to decide which solution would work.

  • Code Readers – They aid in detecting codes responsible for the existing glitch, but need the check light for the engine activated to work properly.

  • Battery Charging System – This utilitarian device helps to charge, service, test and improve the performance of batteries and various other rechargeable units.

  • Engine Control Diagnostics – Engine control diagnostics are designed to detect glitches occurring with engine control like idle speeds, as well as irregular auto problems.

Although most of the above mentioned equipment are quite easy to use, some firms still provide automotive training courses in Ireland for enthusiasts who want to learn more about these devices and understand how they work. This further helps in popularising the use of automotive diagnostics to inspect vehicles at home.
