An engine management system service is a full inspection and diagnostic service to determine why your engine management system has flagged a problem inside your vehicle’s engine. Our mechanics will arrive to your location equipped with everything they need to undertake an engine management system (EMS) service or repair. This includes specialist diagnostic tools which talk directly to your vehicle’s onboard computer to ascertain what, if any, fault has occurred and determine the best and most cost-effective way of fixing it.
What is an engine management system?
Your EMS system is an advanced internal computer also known as an engine control unit (ECU).
It works by interpreting electrical signals generated by the various onboard sensors in your vehicle to monitor things like the fuel to air ratio and mixture delivered to your engine while it’s running, air temperature, amounts of fuel and fuel injection in your vehicle, coolant temperature, air flow, variable valve timing, injection timing and throttle control.
At its most basic, the EMS will use its variety of sensors to determine what kind of operating temperature is optimal and how to control the car depending on the operating conditions in real time. For example, colder engines will require more fuel to run than warm engines.
The coolant temperature sensor and injectors are monitored by the engine management system to ensure that the precise level of fuel the engine needs is delivered. The air temperature sensor will also be involved with this calculation, informing the ECU of the ambient temperature so it can respond accordingly and ensure that your vehicle is performing optimally.

When you book your engine management service online with Lube Mobile, your mechanic will arrive at your location with specialist equipment and a special scan tool that can read fault codes delivered by your vehicle’s computer. The fault codes will be listed in the manufacturer’s specifications to help the mechanic determine what fault or repair has been detected by the engine management system and how best to proceed.
This may be readings received by the throttle position sensor, the crank angle sensor, coil pack or ignition module. It may also relate to information gathered by the oxygen sensor or the cam angle sensor. Any of these sensors could indicate a range of problems with your vehicle from steering and suspension issues through to battery problems or a starter motor issue. It may also indicate a cooling system repair is required or that your brakes need to be inspected and/or repaired.
Whatever information is received by the mechanic, relating to any part of your vehicle from the timing belt and wheel bearings to the alternator or the clutch, we can determine the source of the issue as presented by the engine management system. Once the problem has been identified then it’s a simple matter of preparing an itemised quote detailing what service work needs to be completed.
