larrixauto2017:Diagnosis simply is just a technical procedure to toubleshoot and narrow down the root cause of issue . Depending on the issue at hand ,the procedure of diagnosis might not even involve scan at all .And most of the time scanning might just be one single test procedure out of 100 other numerous test to perfom a troubleshooting issues. In Autologic workshop for only powertrain alone ,we have up to 50 diagnosis dedicated eqiupment and others troubleshooting procedure, scanning is just one out of numerous test like -Cylinder Compression ,Leak down test ,fuel pressure test ,evap leak test using smoke machine, temperature readout tools, radiator tester, electrical powerscan tool , Signal generator & analyser, labscope and so others ones So with all the troubleshooting equipment & procedure mentioned above ,it will be technically incorrect to use the word "scanning" to refer to them all instead of Diagnosis So using the word diagnosis refer to the general test . |

captainking:They are good cars but there body is the main issue they get bad when getting older and also they have no 2nd value. But for the engine it is a strong one which have low maintainance cost. But require good technician. And for the transmission. Using of wrong oil damage it more quickly. Thank you |

My Toyota sienna 2000 model is refusing to engage in the reverse gear, what can I do about it. Please advice me cause a mechanic came to check it out and said it the gear system that we have to change completely. Any suggestions |
Re: Ask your Mechanic ! ! ! Thread by larrixauto2017(m): 5:23pm On Apr 08, 2019 |
hardeybhayour:Before concluding it is the gear you will have to do some mechanical diagnosing like 1)checking the gear cable 2)checking the gear level assembly 3) checking the park and neutral switch for the position of the right gear. Thank you |

Re: Ask your Mechanic ! ! ! Thread by olafriend88(m): 6:42pm On Apr 08, 2019 |
[color=#550000][/color] kanuisagoat: Its called stabilizer linkage,leave it as its broken,you can only change it, if its make noise |
Re: Ask your Mechanic ! ! ! Thread by olafriend88(m): 6:46pm On Apr 08, 2019 |
[color=#006600][/color] larrixauto2017: The mechanic is right, if you should repair it,it won't last long and it waste time,money and labour. So its better to buy another transmission |

I drive a 2005 KIA SORENTO which i bought from a friend. One funny tin i notice wen wanting to start de car is dat it drags a bit as if de battery is down (de lights on de dashboard will be low and it wud be as if it wont start) although it usually starts. Dis doesn't happen all de time sha. It starts fast a few times. I was suspecting its de battery but a battery technician checked de alternator is charging very well and certified de battery ok. So what do u tink cud be causing it. Tanx |
Re: Ask your Mechanic ! ! ! Thread by larrixauto2017(m): 7:49pm On Apr 08, 2019 |
olafriend88:Hello sir who said so? Or are you with the car and why did you conclude it the gear. And i did not say he should go for repair. I only advice him to check those part cause have seen a case like that in my workshop and all what i ask him to check can only be replace not repair. Thank you |
Re: Ask your Mechanic ! ! ! Thread by larrixauto2017(m): 9:08pm On Apr 08, 2019 |
Nembeboi:. Hello sir did the battery always drain down overnight? Is it the right alternator for the car? Have you ever change the fan belt all the alternator? The amps rating for the alternator are the battery are they the one specified for the car by the manufacturers? Some time if there is a loose conection at the kick starter also and responsible for it thank you 1 Like |

ASAbraham:hello sir go to an auto workshop that has a proffesional scanner to help you diagnose the car. After diagnosing they will will give the scan result then post the result for clear identification. And again what year is your car? In case the car computer (ecu) is not communicating with the scan tool or the scan tool is not powering up then we need to run a test... |
