MOBILE
CAR DIAGNOSTICS
Professional mobile vehicle diagnostics and fault finding across Norfolk, Suffolk & Essex.
DIAGNOSTICS
DONE PROPERLY.
Modern vehicles are built around complex electronic systems. When something goes wrong, reading a fault code is often only the beginning.
Nightfall Automotive provides mobile diagnostics and fault finding for modern vehicles, using specialist diagnostic and programming equipment to investigate faults across vehicle control modules and systems.
Whether you’re dealing with a warning light, communication fault, starting problem or an intermittent electrical issue, the aim is to identify the cause rather than simply replace parts and hope.
Investigating the cause behind warning lights, fault codes and system failures.
Investigating communication faults between vehicle control modules.
Testing wiring, power supplies, grounds and vehicle networks where required.
SPECIALIST
DIAGNOSTICS
From straightforward fault-code diagnosis to more complex electrical and communication faults, diagnostics can help establish what is actually happening with the vehicle.
FAULT CODE DIAGNOSTICS
Read and investigate diagnostic trouble codes across relevant vehicle systems and control modules.
DTC & SYSTEM ANALYSISCAN & LIN DIAGNOSTICS
Investigating vehicle communication networks where modules are unable to communicate or systems are reporting network faults.
NETWORK COMMUNICATIONECU & MODULE FAULTS
Diagnostics for engine, transmission, body and other electronic control modules.
CONTROL MODULESELECTRICAL FAULT FINDING
Investigation of power, ground, wiring and electrical faults where conventional code reading isn’t enough.
POWER & WIRINGDPF & EGR FAULTS
Diagnostics for common diesel emissions-related faults, including DPF and EGR system issues.
DIESEL SYSTEMSADBLUE SYSTEMS
Investigating AdBlue and related warning messages, countdowns and system faults.
EMISSIONS SYSTEMS
DIAGNOSIS
BEFORE PARTS.
UNDERSTAND THE SYMPTOMS
We start with what the vehicle is actually doing, when the problem occurs and any warning messages or symptoms you’ve noticed.
SCAN THE VEHICLE
Relevant vehicle systems are scanned and stored fault information is assessed rather than simply clearing the codes.
TEST THE SYSTEM
Where necessary, further testing can be carried out on wiring, power supplies, grounds, sensors and vehicle communication networks.
IDENTIFY THE CAUSE
The findings are explained so you can understand what is causing the problem and what needs to happen next.
WHEN THE CAR
CAN’T TALK.
Modern vehicles rely on multiple control modules communicating with each other. When communication breaks down, the fault may be caused by a module, wiring, power supply, network or another system entirely.
Specialist diagnostics can help narrow down where the problem actually lies.

FAQ
Can you diagnose my car at home? +
Yes. Nightfall Automotive provides a mobile diagnostic service across Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex, subject to the vehicle and job requirements.
Can you diagnose a car that won’t start? +
Yes. Non-starting vehicles can be investigated using diagnostics and, where appropriate, further electrical and system testing.
Can you diagnose communication faults? +
Yes. Communication faults between vehicle modules can require investigation of the modules themselves as well as power supplies, grounds, wiring and communication networks.
Can you diagnose DPF, EGR or AdBlue faults? +
Yes. These systems can be diagnosed to help establish the cause of warning messages and system faults.
Will clearing the fault codes fix the problem? +
Not necessarily. Clearing a fault code removes the stored code but does not automatically repair the underlying fault. Proper diagnosis looks at why the code has appeared.
How much does diagnostics cost? +
Diagnostic requirements vary depending on the vehicle and fault. Use the booking system to tell us about the vehicle and problem so the appropriate service can be selected.
