THE SERVICE
What does electrical and computer diagnostics at National Auto Service Centre cover?
Using computer diagnostic tools, the technicians read the fault codes stored by your vehicle, test the battery and charging system, and trace dashboard warnings, power loss and connectivity failures to the part that caused them, so the repair fixes the cause rather than the symptom.
The work is done at 99 Kennedy Rd S Unit B in Brampton, Ontario. Electrical & Computer Diagnostics at National Auto Service Centre covers the following work.
- Computer scan and fault-code reading
- Battery and charging system test
- Alternator and starter repair or replacement
- Sensor diagnosis and replacement
- Wiring and connector repair
- Control module diagnosis
What are the signs of an electrical problem?
Common signs of an electrical fault are a warning light that stays on, slow or failed starting, a battery that keeps dying and electronics that cut out while driving.
- A dashboard warning light that stays on
- The car won't start, or starts slowly
- The battery keeps dying or needs a boost
- Loss of power while driving
- Lights, windows, infotainment or other electronics cutting out

What should Brampton drivers know about car electrical problems?
These are general facts about electrical and computer diagnostics that apply to any vehicle in Ontario. For advice about your own vehicle, call (905) 450-3300.
- A steady check engine light means the vehicle has stored a fault code. A flashing one usually means an active misfire, so stop driving and have it checked.
- Most car batteries last three to five years. Cold weather reduces a battery's cranking power, so a weak battery in Brampton often fails first on a winter morning.
- A failing alternator often shows up as dim headlights at idle, a battery warning light while driving, or a battery that keeps dying after a boost.
- A diagnostic scan reads the fault codes and live sensor data stored by the vehicle's control modules. The code points to a circuit or system; testing then confirms which part failed.

What does a computer diagnostic scan check?
