Why a Full Diagnostic Scan Matters After a Collision
At Abel Diagnostic Centers, a Full Diagnostic Scan is more than a simple code check. It is a multi-system, OEM-compliant inspection that supports precise repairs, validates insurance claims, and ensures vehicle safety. Whether you are a collision shop, fleet manager, or vehicle owner in Newbury Park, Thousand Oaks, or across Ventura County, our scan process delivers fast, verified results you can trust.
✅ Multi-Module System Scanning
What Systems Are Included?
We scan every electronic control module (ECM) on the vehicle network — not just the powertrain. Modern vehicles have 30 to 100+ modules, each playing a role in performance and safety.
Modules scanned include:
ADAS systems (lane keep assist, forward collision warning, radar, parking sensors)
Steering, suspension, and ride control
Airbags and occupant restraint systems
Battery, hybrid, or electric powertrains
HVAC, infotainment, transmission, lighting, and more
Can It Detect Hidden Faults?
Yes. Using OEM-grade scan tools and protocols, we access active, stored, and pending Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) across every module. Even faults not directly related to a collision can affect drivability or warranty coverage.
This comprehensive sweep ensures nothing gets missed before, during, or after repair.
✅ Detailed DTC Reporting for Insurance & Repair
What Do You Get in a Report?
Our diagnostic report includes:
A list of all DTCs (active, stored, pending)
Severity and location of each code
Plain-language definitions and probable causes
Comparison of pre-repair and post-repair data
Are Reports Shareable and Insurance-Ready?
Absolutely. Each report is provided in PDF and online formats for easy access by:
Collision repair shops
Estimators and service advisors
Insurance adjusters
These reports help justify repairs and supplement claims with clear, time-stamped evidence.
✅ Pre-Repair and Post-Repair Scans
Why Are Both Required?
Pre-repair scans reveal unseen issues before teardown. This improves estimate accuracy and avoids delays.
Post-repair scans confirm that all systems were properly restored and no faults remain.
Will It Help With Insurance Claims?
Yes. Supplement approvals often depend on proof of additional damage or faults, which our scans provide.
Do You Verify OEM Calibration Completion?
We do. Our post-repair process includes:
Final verification of cleared codes
Proof of calibration reset (when applicable)
Confirmation that all systems meet OEM compliance standards
✅ Same-Day Turnaround & Expert Communication
How Fast Is the Service?
Most full scans take 60 to 90 minutes, with same-day reporting on the majority of vehicles.
We also provide:
Direct contact with shops and insurers
Live code explanations and recommendations
Dedicated support for complex vehicles and ADAS-heavy platforms (e.g., Tesla, Ford, Ram)
Are Bi-Directional Functions Included?
Yes. Our advanced tools support:
Live sensor monitoring
Component activation and tests
Real-time feedback for system integrity
These functions are vital for confirming that repairs and calibrations were successful.
📸 Photo Documentation Included
Abel Diagnostic Centers ensures every Full Diagnostic Scan is paired with clear and verifiable photo documentation. Each file includes:
Before-and-after scan screenshots for pre- and post-repair comparisons
Photos of calibration setup (e.g., targets, radar, vehicle position)
OEM calibration certificates for documented verification
Module-specific highlights for complex diagnostic results
This comprehensive documentation supports insurance claims, protects repairers, and enhances transparency.
