In the event of problems with the electrical system or mechanical components, it is important to determine which component is defective. It is also essential to identify the cause of the problem. Take, for example, a turbo that turns out to be defective. What caused the problem? Was it a lubrication issue?
If the cause of a defect is not found, the problem may return in the future. Finding the faulty or malfunctioning component and tracking down the cause is what we call “making a diagnosis.” A proper diagnosis prevents unnecessary replacement of parts. Automotive technicians are trained in making diagnoses. With the diagnostic skills they learn during these training courses, they can use the right measuring tools to detect complex issues. The topics that may occur in the workshop are covered in the categories: electrical diagnosis, mechanical diagnosis and air conditioning system diagnosis.
