Forensic Crash Investigation, Lease Returns, Warranties
Conduct forensic analysis of ECU status for crash investigation, evaluate warranty claims, and assess cars being returned from lease
Crash Investigation
Evidence of vehicle modification for use in forensic crash investigation is becoming an increasing necessity.
This is especially the case when a fatality has occurred, and the authorities need to understand what sort of condition the vehicle was in, and whether it might have been performing outside of its design parameters, at the time of the accident.
The ECU Check service allows for forensic professionals to determine what has been done to an engine control unit, and to then present the information as part of their evidence. This, along with data from infotainment and other onboard logging systems, provides one of the important evidential layers required to complete investigations or secure convictions.
Warranty Claims
If you are an authorised warranty dealership, assessing the extent to which a vehicle has been modified is only possible if a full read of the ECU is made. Thus armed, you have the ability to dismiss spurious claims, with no ambiguity.
Whilst many main dealerships are able to determine if an ECU has been modified, the details of what has been done aren’t available.
However, our file analysis engine is able to determine exactly what alterations have been carried out, whether it’s a performance tune or the removal of the calibrations for emissions systems such as EGR, DPF, and Adblue.
If your organisation carries out vehicle inspections on behalf of third parties, including an assessment of the engine ECU will give you a far-reaching and clear idea of the potential mechanical state of the vehicle.
Similarly, for those taking back a car as a part of leasing agreement, ECU Check gives you the ability to ensure that it is in a standard condition.
