The Crypton tuner now stands in the corner gathering dust.

To find out why there is a light on your dash board, something a little smaller and sophisticated than the Crypton is required, to talk to your car.

We can access 90% of the vehicles fault codes, reading from the following systems:
Engine, Transmission
ABS & Traction controllers
Body controllers - BSI Units
Radio, radio coding for some vehicles
Maintenance service lights
Oxygen sensor faults
Air bag and SRS circuits
 

Dealer diagnostic tool for CITROEN, RENAULT and PEUGEOT including the power to programme BSI units, Immobiliser, Keys and ECU's.

Please call for more information or read the technical topic code reading.
 

Diagnostic Procedure.

Step  1.  Scan of offending system to: A.Read stored and present fault codes. B. Analyse live data.    Step  2. Preliminary investigation of codes and data which may require: A.  Pin out checks on offending circuits, ( if electrical ) B.  Manual checks on actuators, i.e. injectors, coils, control motors etc. C.  Pressure and delivery tests on fuel system. D.  Compression, cylinder leakage , vacuum test on engine. E.  Gas checks on exhaust emissions. You will be informed of our the result, following two hours of investigation.

Step  3. In-depth investigation depending on preliminary results, if required:

A.               Tracing location of short or open circuit within the wiring harnesses.

B.               Removing items for bench testing or mechanical inspection.

C.               Part strip to gain access to check engine valve timing etc.

D.               Programming if required, of control units via dealer tooling.
