Manufacturer Software Updates

Modern cars and vans increasingly rely on computers powered by complex software to control everything from engine performance to onboard entertainment.

In the same way you would carry out a Microsoft or Apple software update on your electronic devices, it’s very common for known issues on a vehicle to be solved by updating the control module.

Another common reason to restore a vehicle’s software is to unmask possible software manipulation to hide a known fault. From our experience in the diagnostics of vehicles we have noticed a growing trend (along with many other diagnostic experts we speak to) where fault code deletion is becoming the ‘normal’ practice by car sales companies and those garages who would rather delete a fault code rather than fix the actual problem… so if you’re a garage/workshop that is struggling to find an issue with a car that you know has a fault but it shows no fault codes, it may be worth restoring the vehicle to its original software which may reveal more information and shed more light and allow you to find and repair your customer’s fault.
