What Is Vehicle Diagnostics?

Automotive diagnostics  refers to the process of scanning your vehicle's onboard computer systems for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). These codes pinpoint specific problems in systems like:


  • Engine and transmission
  • Fuel injection and air intake
  • Electrical and ignition systems
  • Battery and alternator
  • Brakes, airbags, and emission controls


All vehicles manufactured after 1995 are equipped with an   OBD-II port, which allows our certified technicians at Tice's Automotive to connect a scanner and retrieve codes related to your vehicle's performance and safety systems.


What Issues Can Diagnostics Detect?

A professional diagnostic scan  can reveal hidden or early-stage issues that may not yet affect driving — but could turn into costly repairs if left unaddressed.


Here’s what our diagnostics may uncover:

  • Engine misfires or ignition problems
  • Oxygen sensor or mass airflow sensor faults
  • Catalytic converter issues
  • Transmission slipping or shift delay
  • Alternator or battery failure
  • Fuel injection or delivery problems
  • Cooling system inefficiencies
  • Safety system alerts (e.g., airbag faults)


At Tice's Automotive, we don’t just identify the   diagnostic codes  — we explain what they mean and how to fix the issue for long-term reliability.


Signs You Need a Diagnostic Service

You don’t always have to wait for a warning light. Common symptoms that signal the need for a   diagnostic service  include:

  • Check engine light is on
  • Dashboard warning lights  (brakes, ABS, oil, etc.)
  • Airbag warning light
  • Rough idling or stalling
  • Loss of power or acceleration
  • Engine won’t start
  • Poor gas mileage
  • Unusual smells or sounds
  • Non-responsive brakes


These issues can stem from something as minor as a dirty air filter or as serious as a failing sensor or control module. At Tice's Automotive, we investigate thoroughly so nothing gets missed.
