DTC REMOVAL - HOW IT WORKS
Accurate Fault Code Reading
We connect advanced diagnostic tools to your vehicle’s ECU to read and identify stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), including those triggering warning lights.
Code Analysis & Root Cause Check
Before removal, each code is reviewed to determine whether the issue is resolved or still active — we only remove inactive or false codes, never masking real problems.
Safe & Targeted Removal
Using specialised software, we permanently remove unwanted or nuisance DTCs from the ECU memory, helping prevent unnecessary warnings or limp mode without affecting performance or safety.
Are you looking for DTC removal in Devon or any area within the Southwest?
Our DTC Removal service is designed to safely and permanently remove unwanted Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) stored in your vehicle’s ECU.
DTCs are triggered when a sensor or component operates outside its expected range — even briefly. While these codes are essential for engine diagnostics, they can sometimes remain stored even after the fault has been fixed, or appear due to modifications such as component removal or deactivation.
By using advanced software tools, we carefully identify and remove only the inactive or irrelevant codes — without masking real or active faults. This helps prevent unnecessary dashboard warning lights, limp mode, or failed MOTs, especially in vehicles with modified systems like EGR or DPF.
Our process is safe, non-invasive, and fully customised to your vehicle. Whether you drive a diesel or petrol car, van, or commercial vehicle, DTC removal can help ensure smoother operation and a cleaner ECU memory — particularly useful for drivers in Devon, including Torbay, Teignbridge, and South Hams.
What results can you expect after DTC Removal?
MOT Test Compliance
Active DTCs can trigger warning lights and cause your vehicle to fail the annual MOT test. Removing them ensures your car meets legal standards and avoids unnecessary retests.
Improved Performance & Efficiency
Fault codes can reduce engine performance, activate limp mode, or increase fuel consumption and emissions. Clearing them restores normal driving conditions and better fuel economy.
Long-Term Reliability & Cost Savings
Unresolved DTCs can hide real mechanical issues that worsen over time. Prompt removal helps prevent serious damage and reduces the risk of expensive future repairs.
