Signal / Vehicle tools

Understand the problem before choosing a repair.

Start with the vehicle, then describe what you noticed. Add a scanner code, warning light, photo or recording if you have one. Signal brings those clues together in one report.

Start a diagnosis

Describe the problem in your own words. A recording is optional.

References and costs

Use these alongside your diagnosis.

Reference tools explain a code or quote. They cannot identify the failed part on their own.

Quick warning-light guide

Some signals need immediate attention.

These are general safety prompts. Your vehicle handbook and a qualified inspection remain the authority for your vehicle.

OILSTOP

Oil pressure

If it remains on with the engine running, stop safely and switch off.

TEMPSTOP

Coolant temperature

Stop safely if the vehicle is overheating, steaming or losing coolant.

BRAKESTOP

Brake system

Stop if braking has changed, fluid appears low or the warning remains red.

MILCHECK

Engine warning

A flashing light with poor running needs urgent attention; steady usually needs prompt diagnosis.

ABSPROMPT

ABS

Normal braking may remain, but anti-lock assistance can be unavailable.

BATTPROMPT

Charging system

The battery may not be charging and the vehicle can lose electrical power.

How pricing information helps Signal

Signal Automotive is an independent start-up building its own vehicle pricing system. Vehicle details and prices you choose to provide for valuation or optional pricing research help us develop and improve Signal’s estimates.

Asking prices and seller-reported outcomes remain labelled by their source; they are not treated as verified sales unless supported by suitable evidence. Optional research choices remain separate, and this acknowledgement does not sign you up to marketing.
