State-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to pinpoint issues fast. Accurate assessments with no guesswork — saving you time and money.

Our Diagnostic Services

Our technicians use OEM-level diagnostic scanners and software to provide dealer-quality diagnostics at competitive prices. We diagnose all truck systems accurately the first time.

Fault Code Reading

Complete scan of all vehicle modules to identify stored and pending fault codes. We interpret codes in context to determine the root cause.

Live Data Analysis

Real-time monitoring of engine parameters, sensor readings, and system performance to identify issues that may not trigger fault codes.

Emissions Testing

Comprehensive emissions diagnostics including DPF, SCR/DEF, EGR, and NOx systems. Ensure compliance with Ontario regulations.

Electrical System Testing

Testing of charging systems, starter circuits, battery health, and CAN bus communication to identify electrical faults quickly.

Transmission Diagnostics

Specialized scanning of transmission control modules, shift solenoids, speed sensors, and fluid pressure to diagnose shifting issues.

Performance Testing

Power output analysis, fuel efficiency testing, and system benchmarking to identify performance degradation before it becomes costly.

What to Expect During Your Diagnostic Visit

When you bring your truck to Fair Price Truck Repair Center for diagnostics, the process begins with a thorough initial consultation. Our technicians will discuss the symptoms you have noticed, review any warning lights on the dashboard, and ask about recent maintenance or repairs. This conversation helps us narrow down potential causes before we connect any equipment, saving time and ensuring we focus on the right systems from the start.

Next, we connect your truck to OEM-level diagnostic scanners specific to your vehicle's manufacturer. For Volvo trucks, we use Volvo VOCOM to access every module in the vehicle. Cummins-powered trucks are scanned with Cummins INSITE, which provides deep engine and aftertreatment data. Detroit Diesel engines are diagnosed using Detroit Diesel Diagnostic Link (DDDL), the factory tool that reads proprietary fault codes and parameters. We also carry diagnostic software for Freightliner, Kenworth, Peterbilt, International, and Mack, so no matter what you drive, we have the right tool for an accurate diagnosis.

Once the scanner is connected, our technicians perform a full fault code scan across all vehicle modules, including the engine control module, transmission control module, ABS, instrument cluster, and aftertreatment system. We go beyond simply reading codes. Live data streams are reviewed in real time to identify sensor values that are out of range, intermittent faults that may not trigger a stored code, and performance trends that indicate developing problems. Freeze frame data is analyzed to understand the exact conditions under which a fault occurred.

After the diagnostic session is complete, we compile a written report that clearly explains every fault found, what it means in plain language, and our recommended repair path. The report includes prioritized repair recommendations so you can address critical safety and drivability issues first, along with transparent cost estimates for each repair. There are no surprises and no pressure. You decide which repairs to authorize, and we proceed only with your approval.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a truck diagnostic scan cost?

Costs vary based on complexity. We offer competitive rates — call (647) 706-9257 for current pricing.

What does a check engine light mean?

It indicates your truck's computer has detected an issue ranging from a minor sensor problem to a serious engine or emissions fault. Professional scanning is required to read the specific codes.

How long does diagnostic testing take?

A standard scan takes 30-60 minutes. Complex issues may take 1-3 hours. We provide time estimates after the initial scan.

Can you diagnose intermittent problems?

Yes, we use data logging, freeze frame data, and live monitoring to track down issues that don't appear consistently.

Do you perform emissions testing?

Yes — DPF checks, SCR/DEF analysis, EGR valve testing, and NOx sensor verification for Ontario emissions compliance.

Check Engine Light On?

Don't ignore warning lights. Our fast, accurate diagnostics identify the problem so you can get back on the road.
