Vehicle Diagnostics and Module Programming in Gateshead

Modern cars rely on dozens of electronic control modules, and one fault can bring up warning lights, stop the car starting or disable safety systems. We use a large range of diagnostic equipment to cover as many vehicles and systems as possible, from reading fault codes to repairing, coding and programming modules.

What we diagnose and repair

PPowertrain codes

Engine diagnostics and ECU programming

Engine management lights, poor running and sensor faults diagnosed properly rather than guessed at. We fit sensors and repair, replace and program engine control units.

Starting and charging

Battery, alternator and starter motor testing and replacement, so we find out why your battery keeps going flat rather than just swapping it.

CChassis codes

ABS, traction control and ESP

ABS and traction warning lights diagnosed and fixed. We fit ABS sensors, repair and fit ABS modules, and carry out coding, programming and sensor alignment for traction and stability systems.

BBody codes

Airbag (SRS) faults

Airbag warning lights diagnosed, with parts fitted and wiring repaired so your safety systems work as they should.

Body control module (BSI/BCM)

Diagnosis, repair, replacement and programming of body control modules, which run things like lighting, wipers, windows and central locking.

Immobiliser faults

If your car won't start because the immobiliser isn't recognising the key, we can diagnose, repair, replace and program the immobiliser system.

Instrument clusters

Diagnosis, repair, replacement and programming of dashboard instrument clusters.

Central locking

Central locking faults traced and repaired.
