Our electronic services include:
Check Engine Light
No one likes to see the check engine light come on in the vehicle. The light could mean a costly
job or a simple repair. Here at Major Muffler we can pull the code(s) and diagnose the problem
so you don't have too.
Computer
Today, vehicle manufacturers include at least one computer in each motor vehicle. It
receives input information from different sensors and controls the spark plugs, idle speed, and
fuel injectors to give the owner the best possible vehicle performance. Failure of the computer
will greatly affect the components it controls. To get the most out of your computer have it
evaluated regularly for updates and proper operation. If it is already failing, have it repaired or
replaced.
Diagnostic
Technicians at Major Muffler & Auto repair are able to diagnose the electronic and some
electrical parts in your vehicle.
Drivability
Drivability is the degree of smoothness and steadiness of your vehicle's acceleration. Most
modern vehicles are fitted with on-board computers that continuously check the readings from
various sensors. In the case of drivability problems, your vehicle will receive and display a
warning message on your vehicle dashboard.
Engine Controls
The engine control system is an on-board computer in your vehicle. Like all computers, the
engine controls are composed of hardware and software. Automotive engine controls systems
are responsible for regulating exhaust emissions, and providing increased fuel economy. Make
sure the engine controls are working properly to get the best out of your vehicle's incredibly
powerful technology.
Have a dead battery? Misfiring starter or alternator? Stop by Major Muffler for your electrical repair and maintenance needs.
Alternators
An alternator is an automotive device that converts mechanical energy to electric energy (ac).
Failure of your vehicle's alternators will transfer to failure of your vehicle's engine. When your
vehicle alternator develops problems, seek expert help with us so you can get back on the road.
Batteries
The battery supplies electric energy which powers the ignition system, the starter motor, and the
lights on the vehicle. If you need to jump-start your vehicle in the morning your battery could be
failing and when a battery starts deteriorating, it needs to be replaced or repaired - depending
on the severity of the damage.
Starter
A starter is a motor that rotates the internal combustion engine to initiate the engine's operation.
Like many components of your vehicle, when the starter fails it could, and has, lead to the
failure of your vehicle.
OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics and is a sophisticated computer that collects vital information from a network of sensors, monitoring engine performance, emissions, and other key functions. It not only regulates various car systems but also acts as a diagnostic tool, alerting you to potential problems before they become major issues.
While a basic diagnostic test typically wraps up in 1-1.5 hours, complex issues demanding further examination and component access/testing can extend the process to 2-3 hours. The length ultimately depends on the severity of the problem and the potential presence of multiple underlying culprits.
Diagnostic tests are like X-rays for your vehicle, utilizing specialized equipment to scan its complex systems and components like the engine, transmission, and throttle. From minor oil tank issues to intricate electrical glitches, these tests diagnose a wide range of potential problems. However, interpreting the data they generate requires trained professionals, making dealer shops and skilled mechanics your best bet for accurate diagnoses.
