A diagnostic scan is a starting point, not a diagnosis on its own. Describe warning messages, driving symptoms and when they began; the vehicle information helps narrow the inspection.
Mention whether the warning is constant or intermittent and whether the car still starts and drives normally. A scan result should be interpreted alongside the symptoms before any repair is discussed.
What can be completed at the vehicle depends on the condition and job. Any different arrangement should be discussed before work is agreed.
