We will ensure that your vehicle is in top working condition for reliable, long-term performance. 

Diagnosing the Problem

Understanding what problem you are experiencing with your vehicle isn't always as easy as you might think. The electronics system is sophisticated and complex, and it requires expertise and the right equipment to determine the source of the problem. Sometimes, correcting the issue may be as simple as replacing a spark plug, but other times, it may require more complex interventions such as upgrading the software and other components.

The Subaru electronics repair experts at Granite Subaru have the right training and the right tools to get to the heart of the problem quickly so that they can make the right repair to get your vehicle working optimally again. Making the wrong repair or using the wrong parts can cause more harm for your vehicle, either by creating a new problem or by allowing the real problem to continue unaddressed. With Granite Subaru, you can rest easy knowing that your vehicle is in the hands of the experts and will be repaired properly for the protection of its long-term health.

Components and Issues Serviced

There are many parts in your vehicle run by computers or electrical equipment, and there are likely multiple computers in your vehicle. Exactly what repair or maintenance you need will depend on what area of your vehicle is experiencing a problem. 

Vehicle Computers

Your Subaru typically has at least one primary vehicle computer, though it may have more than one. The primary computer monitors and controls major vehicle systems, such as the engine and transmission. Through the use of multiple sensors, the computer may monitor components like the spark plugs or fuel injector, and it may monitor performance, such as idling speed. The computer can make adjustments to improve performance in some cases, or it can simply report back on one of the driver display systems that there is a problem. 

Sometimes, the sensors that the computer uses to monitor the vehicle can get dirty or malfunction. The computer would then flag that there is a problem. Other times, the computer itself may experience a problem, or one of the vehicle components may be the problem. Our Subaru electronics experts will review all components to determine what is causing the issue and make the necessary repairs or adjustments. They will quickly diagnose and correct the problem before any further damage can occur. 

Drivability Computer

Drivability refers to the smooth operation of the vehicle. It concerns things like how smoothly your car changes gears or how seamlessly it accelerates. These and other issues are linked to a drivability computer, which monitors a variety of sensors and makes adjustments as needed. When something breaks down with the computer or any of its sensors, you may have drivability issues, but you may blame them on things like your clutch or your alternator. 

Sometimes, you'll get a notice on your vehicle's dashboard when there are drivability issues, but you won't always. You'll need to make an appointment with our Subaru electronics repair issues as soon as you notice any electronic alerts or any issues with driving your vehicle. We'll let you know if there's a problem with your vehicle's computer or one of your vehicle's components. 

Engine Controls

Engine controls are separate from your vehicle's main computer, and they are more sophisticated. They are responsible for things like what kind of fuel efficiency your vehicle gets and how much exhaust it puts out. The controls make minute adjustments in your powertrain to determine its performance. Schedule an appointment.

Your routine maintenance should include a check of your vehicle's electronics system, including the engine controls. You won't always get an alert that something is wrong, but problems could be lingering. Routine maintenance could uncover these issues before they become major problems that require expensive repairs. 

Other Issues

Your vehicle's electronics components are advanced and complex. There are many things that could go wrong outside of the main computer or engine controls. Some issues that are flagged as computer problems could actually be a problem with other components, such as dirty spark plugs or connecting wires. It is important that you have these issues fully inspected to determine the precise cause of the problem so that you do not waste time and money chasing the wrong solution while leaving your vehicle vulnerable to additional problems.
