Advanced Diagnostics From Your Lincoln Dealer: Keeping Your Lincoln Running Smoothly

What Is a Diagnostic Scan?

When your Lincoln undergoes a diagnostic scan, its intricate network of systems and components is thoroughly examined by a certified Lincoln technician who will evaluate your vehicle’s overall condition. This advanced digital analysis of your car’s operating systems effectively pinpoints any issues, streamlining the repair process and ultimately saving you valuable time and money.

How Do Diagnostic Scans Work?

Your Lincoln’s onboard computer keeps track of your vehicle’s operating conditions and overall performance and generates data reports. The stored codes and data are retrieved by conducting a diagnostic scan using state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to link up with your vehicle’s onboard computer. With this information, our technicians can thoroughly analyze and evaluate your vehicle’s operational status. 

What Precisely Do Diagnostic Scans Examine?

A diagnostic scan thoroughly examines all your vehicle’s vital systems, including the engine, electrics, transmission, braking system, exhaust system, and other critical components. Your Lincoln technician carefully evaluates the data collected to gain a comprehensive understanding of your vehicle’s condition. The gathered information will determine the necessary maintenance and repairs that are required to ensure your vehicle performs optimally. 

When Should a Diagnostic Scan Be Performed?

If you hear annoying noises, smell strange odors, notice smoke billowing out from beneath the hood or exhaust, or notice the check engine light illuminated on your dashboard, schedule a diagnostic scan with one of our certified Lincoln technicians promptly. We highly advise against delaying the scan to prevent extensive damage to critical components, which could result in costly repairs or replacements.

How Often Should a Vehicle Be Scanned?

Our Lincoln technicians conduct diagnostic scans at each scheduled maintenance service to evaluate your vehicle’s overall condition. When you bring your vehicle to us for regular scans, any issues will be identified early on and dealt with effectively.
