JLR Diagnostics
Land Rover vehicles are equipped with a number of sensors and computers that work together to keep the vehicle running smoothly. When something goes wrong, these systems can generate error codes that can be read by diagnostic equipment. This equipment can help mechanics identify the problem and make repairs accordingly. In some cases, the equipment may be able to clear the error codes and reset the system. Land Rover vehicles are also equipped with a number of safety features that can be checked using diagnostic equipment. This includes airbag deployment sensors, seatbelt pretensioners, and more. By running a diagnostic check, mechanics can ensure that these systems are functioning properly.
