That’s precisely why we’ve created this category, where you’ll find carefully selected testers and diagnostic equipment from the renowned ROOKS brand. Put your trust in solutions that prioritise quality, precision and intuitive operation.
How does vehicle diagnostics work, and what problems can it detect?
Are you wondering exactly what computerised diagnostics involves? It is a process in which a specialised device, known as a tester or interface, is connected to the vehicle’s OBD2 socket. This enables communication with the car’s on-board computer and allows key information about its condition to be read. At the same time, there are methods for the detailed diagnosis of specific physical parameters in the automotive sector. These methods require separate diagnostic tools, which are available from ROOKS
This enables you to:
- Read and clear fault codes: The famous ‘check engine’ warning light is just the start. Diagnostics allow you to precisely identify which component is signalling a problem.
- Monitor parameters in real time: You can check values such as engine temperature, boost pressure and lambda sensor operation in real time.
- Check key systems: Effective diagnostics cover not only the engine, but also safety systems (ABS, ESP, SRS airbags), comfort systems (air conditioning) and the drivetrain.
The most common faults detected during diagnostics include problems with the fuel injection system, ignition system, turbocharging, diesel particulate filter (DPF) and safety systems. Regular checks, which we discuss in more detail on our blog, help to prevent serious and costly breakdowns.

- Look after the cables and plugs: Check their condition regularly, do not bend them at sharp angles and do not pull on the cable when disconnecting.
- Keep the software up to date: This is key to maintaining compatibility with new vehicles and accessing the latest features. Always use official update sources.
- Clean regularly: Use a dry or slightly damp cloth to clean the casing and screen. Avoid harsh chemicals.
