Identify Problems Early With Professional Vehicle Diagnostics
Today’s vehicles are more advanced than ever — and when something goes wrong, you don’t have to guess. With modern diagnostic testing, our technicians at Stone Automotive can identify and address issues quickly, accurately, and efficiently.
Whether it’s a strange warning light or your vehicle just isn’t running like it should, our advanced diagnostic tools and OBD-II scanners provide the insight needed to get you safely back on the road.
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 Stone 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 Stone 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 Stone Automotive, we investigate thoroughly so nothing gets missed.
