Specialistune uses Omiscan hand held diagnostic tools, capable of performing tests to your engine Electronic and fuel injection system, this diagnostic tool is plugged in to a socket in side your car and is capable of reading faults that are stored on the engine management system, It will also identify faults on the ABS braking system and will also diagnose faults on the air bag system.

Omiscan can be linked to an on-screen troubleshooting workshop manual software called CAPS this software covers the electronic systems fitted to the modern motor vehicle. Caps covers engine management (petrol and diesel), ABS, Immobilisers and automatic transmission systems.

Every vehicle that is tuned, serviced or repaired by Specialistune, Automatically has the battery and the charging system tested using Omitec battery charging system tester.this method of testing is more accurate than conventional conductance testing and spots battery and charging faults early before the vehicle brakes down.

Fault Code Reading

To assist in diagnosing faults in the fuel, ignition and emission systems ie. fault codes are recorded in ECU (the vehicle's computer/brain ie. Electronic Control Unit).

A computerised tool called Fault Code Reader is used to gain access to the ECU to ascertain the fault codes which in turn provides information to assist in problem solving computerised vehicles.





Engine Computer Management Systems

The engine management system or micro computer system known as (ECU-Electronic Control Unit) is a computer in your vehicle which takes electrical readings from sensors within the vehicle and around the engine compartment which in turn manages the fuel, ignition and emission control systems.

ECU receives signals from the various sensors which monitor changing engine conditions ie. Intake air mass (intake air volume and temperature), coolant temperature, engine speed, acceleration/deceleration, exhaust oxygen content etc. These signals are used by the ECU to determine the correct injection duration.
