Unravelling Complex Vehicle Diagnostics & Systems
Modern heavy vehicles are incredibly sophisticated. When something goes awry, fast and accurate diagnostics are crucial for identifying the problem before it escalates. Our team at East Coast Diesel & Performance uses advanced scan tools that are compatible with most diesel truck makes and models. This allows us to identify error codes, interpret system faults, and track down issues within your engine control unit (ECU), transmission, ABS, SRS (airbag), and much more.
We provide complete vehicle diagnostics and systems analysis for fault scanning, module programming, and electronic system resets. If a warning light flashes up or your vehicle’s performance suddenly drops off, we’re equipped to locate the root cause on-site and advise you on the most cost-effective repair.
As mobile auto electricians servicing Maitland and its surroundings, we bring dealership-level diagnostic capability directly to your site, helping you avoid costly tows or workshop delays. We’re here to ensure that every system in your fleet, including agricultural machinery and civil contracting equipment, is running optimally. Our expertise extends to critical components such as fuel injection systems, glow plugs, intake sensors, and turbo controls, which present unique electrical challenges in diesel engines. We also handle injector wiring issues and sensor failures.
