Test Indicator
|
VIN Check
|
The VIN numbers match, but its also worth double checking the vehicles chassis plate matches.
|
|
The Vehicle Identification Number or VIN, is a unique identification tag that is mandated on all vehicles. This VIN contains all the information about where and when a vehicle was manufactured and also details about what specification was in the build. If the VIN number does not match the number recorded in the DVLA database, it should be checked for the reason why. Not all vehicles provide an electronic VIN, but it is recorded on the vehicle in several places such as under he windscreen on the dashboard, or in the engine bay on the VIN plate.

MAP Test
|
MAP sensor looked OK
|
|
The Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor data seemed correct at the time of testing.
|
Cleared codes time
|
None reported as cleared
|
|
When a time since a fault code cleared is displayed, the time is taken from a stored value in the Engine ECU. This does not nessecarily indicated an issue or problem, but should be queried or checked with the owner or in the service history just to be sure.
|
Distance codes time
|
Fault codes were cleared 10 Miles ago
|
|
When a distance since a fault code cleared is displayed, the distance is taken from a stored value in the Engine ECU. This does not nessecarily indicated an issue or problem, but should be queried or checked with the owner or in the service history just to be sure.

Battery Test
|
Battery test passed
|
|
During testing the battery was ok.
|
Alternator
|
the alternator is charging OK
|
|
the alternator output at Idle is very strong 14.46V
|
EGR Idle
|
The EGR did not show concerning errors for any duration during testing.
|
|
The exhaust gas recirculation valve (EGR) is perhaps one of the most misunderstood parts on a modern engine. It is designed to help control pollution by lowering combustion chamber temperatures.
|
Fuel trim @ 1200+ RPM
|
Fuel trim is not reported at RPM on this vehicle
|
|
Fuel trim is often not reported through OBD, and this vehicle does not support this data
|
Fuel trim @ idle
|
Fuel trim is not reported at idle on this vehicle
|
|
Fuel trim is often not reported through OBD, and this vehicle does not support this data
|
Idle Speed
|
The engine idle speed was correct during testing.
|
|
A health engine should idle nice and smooth during warm up and when warm, we look at the idle stability to help identify irregular combustion which could indicate a fault.
|
Idle Stability
|
clean smooth idle
|
|
A health engine should idle nice and smooth during warm up and when warm, we look at the idle stability to help identify irregular combustion which could indicate a fault.
|
Eng Temp Sensor
|
The engine temperature sensor seems to be working ok.
|
|
Its important that the temperature sensor for the engine works correctly, otherwise the engine will be over fuelling.
|
MIL Light
|
The MIL light is not set
|
|
No fault codes were stored on the vehicle
