As a MINI driver, you can’t always see or feel when there is a problem with your engine. By the time the check engine light comes on, you could be dealing with serious and costly engine problems. Scheduling an engine diagnostic at your MINI dealership is a great way to get ahead of problems before they worsen.
What Is an Engine Diagnostic?
A diagnostic test uses specialized tools to check your vehicle’s systems and components. During the test, our technicians connect an on-board diagnostics (OBD) scanner to your MINI’s onboard computer. The scanner retrieves error codes, sensor readings, and performance metrics.
The information from the scan provides insights into the overall health of your MINI’s engine. Our technicians analyze this information to pinpoint potential issues before they worsen. If your MINI’s check engine light has come on, the diagnostic test can reveal the faulty component.
What Will a Diagnostic Test Tell You?
The results from a diagnostic test reveal issues with various engine components and other vehicle components. These include issues like:
- Failing engine components
- Faulty spark plugs and coils
- Misfiring cylinders
- Failing fuel injection system
- Problems with the engine’s cooling system
- Transmission issues
- Brake and ABS problems
- Emission system issues
Once our technicians repair or replace faulty components, we will carry out another test to make sure all error codes have been resolved.
Why Should You Get a Diagnostic Test at Your MINI Dealership?
Find and Fix Issues Before They Worsen
A comprehensive scan allows you to catch issues with your engine and crucial systems before they worsen. This allows you to fix the issues promptly, preventing further damage to your vehicle.
Improve the Engine’s Performance
A diagnostic test helps you catch and fix issues that undermine the engine’s performance. These include faulty sensors, spark plugs, fuel injection problems, and catalytic converter issues.
Conduct Accurate Repairs
Without a diagnostic test, it’s easy to misdiagnose your MINI and end up fixing the wrong components. This guesswork increases the risk of further engine damage and can be costly in the long run.
When Should You Get a Diagnostic Test for Your MINI?
We recommend getting a diagnostic test as part of your MINI’s bi-annual or annual maintenance. This allows us to catch minor issues early, even before warning lights start flashing on your dashboard.
If your check engine light comes on, you should get a diagnostic test immediately, even if you had previously performed routine maintenance. The test takes a short time, usually around 60 to 90 minutes. If your MINI has complex issues, the test may take longer as our technicians investigate the problem further.
Don’t wait for your MINI’s engine to start acting up to get it checked out. Contact MINI of Morristown in Morristown, NJ to schedule a car diagnostic test.
