Automotive FAQ
Quick answers about warning lights, codes, maintenance and repair decisions.
Can this site diagnose my car?
No. It helps organize observations and questions. Diagnosis requires vehicle-specific testing.
Is a code scan a diagnosis?
No. A trouble code identifies a detected condition or circuit, not necessarily the failed component.
When should I stop driving?
Stop for braking or steering changes, smoke, fuel, overheating, low oil pressure, an unsafe tire or major loss of control or power.
Why are there no repair-price tables?
Prices vary by vehicle, diagnosis, region, labour, parts and scope. This site explains estimate structure; Vehiclenomics handles deeper ownership economics.
Are tool entries saved?
No. They remain in the current browser page.
