Electrical Faults

Has your vehicle got an electrical engine warning light fault? Call Autoexperts Medway and get us to carry out an electrical diagnostics code read at our workshop in Gillingham, Medway.

Diagnostic readings are extremely important when it comes to diagnosing warning light faults or running problems, but read on for the most important diagnosis that needs to be carried out first.

Basic Checks:

First of all, the most important basic check before a code reader or scanner is plugged in, is water and oil levels. Carrying out these basic checks will save you money in the long run.

Low oil or coolant levels will allow an engine to run hotter than normal. This factor alone can cause a sensor to malfunction.

Is your battery warning light shining this could mean your alternator is not charging. Is your engine slow to turn over, does it appear to jam or simply click. It could be that your vehicles starter motor or solenoid needs replacing.

Electrical Engine Warning Light 

Has your vehicle developed a electrical engine warning light fault or has a bulb failure light appeared on your dash board? Electrical faults can be problematic, book you vehicle in and allow our technicians to find the fault. Our workshop is in Gillingham in the heart of the Medway towns.

Similarly your vehicle may have an electrical engine warning light fault sign illuminated. This can come on for many reasons and leave a fault code in the ECU memory. Our Technicians have the technology to retrieve this code which will help to diagnose the fault.

So from just a simple fault code read or a full diagnostic check, book your vehicle with our service reception. Autoexperts Medway from Gillingham is the garage to use for all your vehicles electrical problems.
