Description
Is your dashboard lit up with a warning light? Is your car running poorly, in limp mode, or has it failed its MOT on emissions?
That warning light is your vehicle’s computer (ECU) telling you it has detected a problem.
Guessing is expensive. Replacing parts one by one until the light goes out is a costly and frustrating process.
At Miles Back, we use main dealer-level diagnostic equipment to go beyond simple code reading. We perform an in-depth, data-driven analysis to accurately pinpoint the exact source of the fault, saving you time and money.
What Can We Diagnose?
Our advanced equipment can plug into every system and module in your vehicle, not just the engine. We are your first step to a fast, accurate repair.
🟡 Engine Management Light (EML)
This is the most common light. We can quickly diagnose complex engine faults related to:
- Misfires & Running Issues
- Turbocharger and Boost Problems
- Emissions Faults (DPF, AdBlue, EGR, NOx)
- Faulty Sensors (e-g., MAF, O2/Lambda, Cam/Crank)
- Fueling and Ignition System Faults
🔴 Airbag / SRS Light
An airbag light is an automatic MOT failure and means your vehicle’s safety system is disabled. We can trace the fault to a specific component, such as:
- Seat Occupancy Sensors
- Seatbelt Pretensioners
- Airbag Modules or “Squibs”
- Crash Sensors
🟠ABS / Traction Control (ESP) Light
This is another critical safety system. We can pinpoint the exact fault within the braking system, including:
- Faulty ABS Wheel Speed Sensors
- Failing ABS Pumps / Modules
- Traction Control System Errors
💡 All Other Vehicle Systems
We can also diagnose faults in your vehicle’s “body control” and comfort modules, including:
- Electric Windows & Central Locking
- Climate Control & Air Conditioning
- Parking Sensor Systems
- Electronic Handbrakes (EPB)
Our Diagnostic Process: The Miles Back Difference
- Initial Consultation: You tell us the symptoms and when they started.
- Full System Scan: We connect our diagnostic tool and perform a complete scan of every module in your car. This gives us a full overview of all active and stored fault codes.
- Live Data Analysis: This is what sets us apart. We don’t just read the code; we analyse live data from the engine and related sensors. By monitoring sensor voltages, fuel trims, turbo pressure, and DPF soot levels in real-time, we can see exactly what is happening and confirm the root cause.
- Clear, Plain-English Report: We translate the technical jargon into a clear, simple explanation. We show you what’s wrong, what’s causing it, and what your options are and provide you with a full report.
- A Path Forward: We provide you with a no-obligation quote for the repair or, if applicable, discuss one of our permanent remapping solutions for common DPF, EGR, or AdBlue issues.
A diagnostic check is the essential first step before any remapping or tuning. We will never remap a vehicle that has an underlying fault. Tuning a faulty engine is a recipe for disaster. Our diagnostic check ensures your vehicle is healthy and ready for its performance upgrade.
Why Choose Miles Back for Diagnostics?
- Dealer-Level Equipment: We use the same level of technology as the main dealers, allowing us to perform functions they can (like forced DPF regenerations, component coding, and adaptations).
- Save Money: Our diagnostic fee is a fraction of the main dealer price, and we get you the right answer the first time.
- Specialist Knowledge: We are ECU and engine management experts. We understand how these systems work and what the data really means.
- Honest & Transparent: We will show you the fault codes and data on our screen. We believe in being transparent so you can make an informed decision.
