How To

How to properly diagnose your vehicle for repair

Before you can determine if your car requires repairs, it's important to first analyze the symptoms. These steps will help you diagnose your car properly.

  1. Check engine lights. Make sure to check all dashboard indicators like the engine light indicator (oil pressure gauge), the battery indicator (battery light indicator), and the RPM indicator (rpm gauge). If any of them have been flashing for several days, it may mean something is wrong with your vehicle.
  2. Inspect the tire treads. Tires with worn treads could cause problems when handling or braking. It is also important to inspect the wheel treads. They should be smooth and clean. It is best to take off the wheels and remove them. You can check the tread wear with a flashlight.
  3. You should always monitor the level brake fluid. It is important to keep track of how much brake fluid you have in your car. This ensures that your brakes work properly. If your brake fluid level is low they might not work properly when you apply pressure.
  4. Test the suspension system. Vehicles usually have a suspension system that helps absorb shocks and vibrations while driving. This suspension system provides greater control and smoother acceleration and deceleration. A suspension problem can cause your vehicle to feel wobbly and shake uncontrollably. To test whether your vehicle has a suspension issue, try putting weight on the front or rear axle and observe the movement.
  5. Examine the steering column. The steering columns are what connect the steering knob to the rest. Sometimes, steering columns are damaged by accidents. You should replace your steering column if it feels loose or unstable.
  6. Pay close attention to the exhaust tube. Exhaust pipes move gases from combustion chamber to atmosphere. If your exhaust pipe leaks or cracks, it will allow harmful fumes into your cabin. If your tailpipe bends, it is important to fix it immediately.
  7. Take a look at the underside of your hood. Look underneath your hood to see if anything looks strange. There could be fluid leaking from your engine. In addition, if you notice an unusual smell coming from your engine compartment, you should contact a professional technician.
  8. The air filter should be checked. The outside environment can collect dust and other debris in your vehicle's air filters. A dirty air filter causes your vehicle to run poorly. Replace your air filter regularly.
  9. Make sure you check the fan belt. The fan belt is the link between the engine and the transmission. If the fanbel breaks, your engine won't turn. It's easy to replace the belt. All you need are a screwdriver & pliers.
  10. The radiator hose and hoses should be checked. The radiator hose carries water from the radiator to the engine. It can become cracked or damaged and leak hot liquid onto your engine. Repairing the hose is easy with a pair of needlenose pliers or a small wire brush.
  11. The windshield wipers should be checked. Windshield wipers use electricity to wipe away rain and snow. If they stop working, they could leave streaks on your window glass. The solution is to change the washer fluid.
  12. You should inspect the cables. The battery cables supply power to your car's electrical systems. Before you change batteries, disconnect the positive cable. Failure to do so can damage your alternator.
  13. You should check the headlights. The headlights provide illumination for the road ahead. Poor visibility can result if the headlights don't function properly. To determine if your bulbs are out of date, check them.
  14. Check the lights. If you approach other drivers at night, lights will warn them. If one doesn't work, it could distract you and lead to an accident.
  15. Check your brakes. Before you have a collision, brakes slow down your car. If the brakes fail to work correctly, your car could lose control and collide with another vehicle.
  16. Change the oil. Oil keeps your engine lubricated. It prevents metal parts from rusting too quickly. It is recommended that you change your oil at least once per month.
