All modern vehicles are equipped with the so-called diagnostic socket: this is the OBD II interface that allows for a diagnostic check of any fault codes stored by the various control units using an appropriate diagnostic tool; this standard was introduced in the mid-nineties and for older vehicles, it is necessary to use an adapter cable to connect the standard diagnostic socket to the three-pin socket of the vehicle in question; once the connection between the three-pin socket and the standard socket is made with the appropriate cable, power the socket and connect the diagnostic tool, select the make and model, and read the fault codes; if the codes reappear after any deletion, further investigation is required by reading the relevant parameters.
