Diagnostic testing is a quick and simple process for identifying issues that can affect your Ford. Your vehicle contains numerous systems and components, all of which work together to deliver the high standard of performance expected of a Ford. As your Ford dealer, we want to tell you more about this testing and how it benefits you and your vehicle. From Your Ford Dealer: What is Diagnostic Testing? Computer and Sensors Since the 1980s, computers have been part of every vehicle. They simplify and automate many processes that previously required manual adjustment or intervention. This frees up the driver's time to concentrate on the road and enjoy the drive, making this process smoother. However, the computer doesn't work alone, as a vast network of sensors assists it. Every essential component in your vehicle has a sensor connected to it. These sensors receive instructions from your computer, and they also relay information back to the computer to allow it to make decisions. Sensors also monitor the health of their connected component and inform the computer if they detect something is wrong. more Warning Lights If your computer receives information from a sensor warning of trouble, it logs the situation and assigns it an error code. The computer will then illuminate a warning light related to the issue to let you know something is wrong. Most warning lights identify specific systems, like the brake warning light or the engine temperature light. The engine warning light is a special case, as it lights up if anything affects engine performance. If any warning light appears on your dash, we advise contacting us ASAP so we can identify and fix the problem. How Testing Works Our technicians will connect an OBD II scanner to your Ford computer. This specialized machine will display a list of any error codes recorded by the computer. We then check these error codes against the list of Ford error codes to identify the system or section of your vehicle affected by the issue. Code scanning and identification take only a few minutes and can save time that would otherwise have been spent on checking and testing components that are working correctly. Benefits of Testing Testing can identify numerous issues, from a loose gas cap that allows air into the fuel system to a blocked catalytic converter that increases pressure in the engine and forces it to shut down. Speeding up diagnosis also helps to reduce repair costs due to the time saved. An additional benefit of testing is the sensors are very sensitive and identify an issue when it starts. This helps prevent the issue from turning into a more serious problem and reduces the chance of additional damage. Don't delay testing. Contact us today at Ewald Ford in Hartford, WI.

Your Ford's battery provides power to start the engine and power electrical systems. But like all components, batteries have a limited lifespan. Look out for these telltale signs that it's time to get a new car battery from your Ford dealer. Recognizing When It's Time to Get a New Car Battery at Your Ford Dealer Difficulty Starting the Car If your engine is struggling to turn over and cranks slowly, your battery may be on its last legs. A healthy battery should provide a quick and strong surge of power to start your engine. Slow engine response indicates your battery is losing its charge-holding capacity. Replace the battery before you're stranded in a parking lot with a car that won't start. more Electrical Malfunctions Your battery powers various electrical components like the infotainment system, power windows, interior lights, and headlights. When the battery starts to fail, you might notice various electrical issues. These include slow power windows, radio malfunctions, and dim headlights, especially when the engine is idling. These symptoms usually worsen over time, so get your battery checked as soon as they appear. Bulging Battery Case Pop your Ford's hood and inspect the battery regularly for signs of deterioration. If you notice that the battery case looks swollen or bloated, it's a serious sign that your battery needs immediate replacement. The swelling occurs due to excess heat or deterioration from old age. It is a sign that there is internal damage, and the only remedy is to replace the battery. While you're checking the battery case, also look for corrosion around the terminals. Corrosion occurs in the form of a white powdery substance that can interfere with the battery's connection. It can cause starting problems and electrical issues, even if the battery itself is still in good condition. Poor Performance in Cold Weather As the cold season kicks in, your Ford's battery may face performance challenges. Low temperatures slow down the chemical reactions inside the battery, reducing its ability to produce and hold enough charge. If your battery is already weak, you will notice more pronounced start-up issues during the winter. Your engine may crank slowly or require multiple attempts to start. You may even be forced to jump-start the vehicle. If you're experiencing these cold-weather woes, it's time to have your battery checked and replaced. Your Battery Is Old Even if you haven't noticed any obvious signs of failure, it's important to keep track of your battery's age. Most car batteries last three to five years, depending on driving habits and environmental conditions. If your battery is approaching or has exceeded this age range, buy a new one to prevent unexpected failure. Watch out for these signs of battery failure to avoid the inconvenience of a dead battery. Stop by Ewald's Hartford Ford in Hartford, WI to buy a new battery for your Ford.
