An engine diagnostic test uses advanced computer scanning tools to read error codes, check sensors, and identify performance issues. It helps pinpoint problems like misfires, sensor failures, or fuel system issues.
If your check engine light is on, your vehicle is stalling, running rough, losing power, or getting poor fuel economy, it’s time for a diagnostic test.
Most diagnostic tests can be completed in 30–60 minutes, depending on the issue and the depth of testing required.
A flashing check engine light usually signals a serious problem like a misfire or fuel system issue. You should stop driving and have your vehicle inspected immediately to avoid major engine damage.
Diagnostics reveal error codes and system data, but some issues may also require a visual inspection, performance testing, or additional troubleshooting.
An engine replacement is usually recommended if your engine has severe internal damage, cracked blocks, blown head gaskets, or repeated major failures that make repairs more costly than replacement.
Depending on your vehicle, an engine replacement can take a few days to over a week. This allows time for removal, installation, and thorough testing to ensure reliability.
