ELECTRICAL REPAIRS
With Most Modern Diagnosis
Electronic Control Module ECM or ECU Engine control unit is responsible for providing fuel to the engine and controlling the quality of the car’s emissions. ECM is an expensive part of a car. The ECM uses a microprocessor and software to analyze and respond to the input values from an array of sensors. ECM is part of a larger system, with multiple modules to control the power steering to airbags. Any malfunction in the sensors & actuators will affect the ECM performance & the vehicle might not run properly.
Hope city Auto has state of art diagnostic tools to find the problems and rectify it. We can repair the ECM itself, Reprogram or Recalibrate it and Flashing can also be done
Most of the key functions of a vehicle are like ignition timing, fuel delivery, emission controls, transmission shifting, cruise control, engine torque reduction (if the vehicle has ABS – antilock brakes with traction control) and charging output of the alternator are monitored & managed by sensors. In the latest model vehicles (Toyota, Nissan, etc.), the ECM even controls the throttle with the TPS Throttle position sensor because there is no direct cable or linkage connection to the throttle. For the whole system to operate smoothly, reliable sensor inputs are an absolute necessity. Hope city Auto has experts &special diagnostic equipment to pinpoint the problems and we can replace the parts or repair it to rectify a problem.
Most vehicles today face problems with Fuel & Temperature gauges. The fuel gauge is in the Dashboard and the Fuel level sensor unit is fixed in the fuel tank. There is a wiring harness also in between the two components. The temperature gauge also has a temperature sensor fitted on the engine. If the Fuel & Temperature gauges are not working we can solve it by repairing the problems and replacing parts.
Nowadays vehicles come fitted with a digital ODO (Speedo) meter with a speed sensor instead of a Speedo cable mechanism. Various complaints occur in the Speedometer reading at times high or low. With sensor calibration, it can be readjusted to its original reading. RPM meter malfunction can also be repaired.
A faulty starter motor is a cause of starting trouble in most vehicles. It is a DC current motor working on the batteries power& it has many parts like carbon brushes, bearings, bushes, armature, Clutch and Pinion, solenoid switch, etc. As the vehicle runs more, these parts experience wear & tear causing faulty operation. We try to repair or replace these parts and bring it back to its original condition.
Electrical Repairs
Vehicles now days have advanced communication systems which have both advantages and disadvantages. With these communications, we get to identify faults faster, but sometimes these faults can occur from a small error code that happened may be from a battery replacement. These types of faults are identified with the assistance of a vehicle scanning device. The fault codes provide leads to the diagnosis of such faults. At Hope city Auto, our technicians are educated to use these scanning tools and diagnosing the same.
Some other commonly faced electrical faults can be from a small fuse to maybe a line cut anywhere in the middle of an aged alternator, starter or simply your music system wouldn’t go on. These issues can also be taken care of by our technicians.

ECM – Electronic Control Module
ECM is a key component that synchronizes things between your car engine and the overall driving experience. So ECM needs proper maintenance and in most cases, it can only be replaced. It’s just like your computer motherboard. It may be repaired, only if you are lucky enough to have such small damage. In most cases, it is better to replace than repair.
Engine Control Module ECM or ECU Engine control unit is responsible for providing fuel to the engine and controlling the quality of the car’s emissions. ECM is an expensive part of a car. The ECM uses a microprocessor and software to analyze and respond to the input values from an array of sensors. ECM is part of a larger system, with multiple modules to control the power steering to airbags. Any malfunction in the sensors & actuators will affect the ECM performance & the vehicle might not run properly.
Hope city Auto has state of the art diagnostic tools to find the problems and rectify it. We can repair the ECM itself, Reprogram or Recalibrate it and Flashing can also be done. Our electro-mechanical technicians are dexterous in identifying the minute problems and we have all the intricate tools to make repairs in the ECM. So your ECM issues are solved.
Sensors
In latest model vehicles (Toyota, Nissan, etc.), the ECM even controls the throttle with the TPS Throttle position sensor because there is no direct cable or linkage connection to the throttle. For the whole system to operate smoothly, reliable sensor inputs are an absolute necessity. And the thing with sensors like all car parts is that they also wear away with time. They can get dirty, slow and unresponsive.
Sensors in modern cars are like the eyes of the mechanic. The microprocessor in the modern systems depends on them entirely to give you accurate warnings on engine condition, transmission, brake fuel and much more.
Most of the key functions of a vehicle are like ignition timing, fuel delivery, emission controls, transmission shifting, cruise control, engine torque reduction (if the vehicle has ABS – anti lock brakes with traction control) and charging output of the alternator are monitored & managed by sensors.
Hope city Auto has experts & special diagnostic equipment to pinpoint the problems and we can replace the parts or repair it to rectify a problem. Our experts have always handled delicate cases ops sensor repairs and replacement. We have a wide accessory set with diverse utility to help you choose the right sensor module for your vehicle. So let’s make your car respond sensitively
Fuel & Temperature Gauge
There are three temperatures that a knowledgeable driver needs to consider: one is the temperature of water in the cooling system, of the lubricant oil and that of the outside air. Modern vehicles have moved from mechanical measuring instruments to thermistors to give accurate measurements and alerts. Hence, it is essential to keep them tip-top.
Most vehicles today face problems with Fuel & Temperature gauges. The fuel gauge is in the Dashboard and the Fuel level sensor unit is fixed in the fuel tank. There is a wiring harness also in between the two components. The temperature gauge also has a temperature sensor fitted on the engine. It is their smooth coordination that gives you all the relevant details to prevent substantial damage to your car.
At Hope city Auto, we are experts in handling all the electronic and electro-mechanical instrumentation repairs and works.

ODO Meter& RPM Meter
The two meters ODOmeter and RPM meter or tachometer – as it was called earlier – are something we all associate with vehicles as kids. It always gave us the sign of some internal life in a vehicle manifesting as outward meter movements. The reality is also not much different.
ODOmeters and fuel gauges are what we glance at most during our drives. RPM meter is also an indicator of internal working. RPM meter tells us how many revolutions per minute our engine is doing. A capable mechanic can diagnose your car’s problem just by observing the engine RPM reading at running, constant speed and at rest. In another way, these two meters are the pulse of your vehicles and are crucial in preventing future severe damages to your car.
Nowadays vehicles come fitted with a digital ODO (Speedo) meter with a speed sensor instead of a Speedo cable mechanism. Various complaints occur in the Speedometer reading at times high or low. With sensor calibration, it can be readjusted to its original reading. RPM meter malfunction can also be repaired.
Hope city Auto is here to give you the best servicing in your essential meters and houses the state of the art tools to take your vehicle to its pristine form.
Starter Motor
It is a starter motor that kick starts your engine’s combustion cycle when you press the ignition button. And a driver needs to know that a significant amount of power is drawn from your batteries when the starter motor comes to life. Thus, a starter motor needs proper looking after and frequent checking. A starting failure often happens due to the starter motors stalling.
Often when you turn your ignition or push it, there is a noise, like a childish car refusing to start. It is a sign of battery and starter motor trouble. And when it happens, we suggest that you never take a risk. Because this may lead to a stranding situation later on. Treat the car at the onset of a symptom, that’s what experts at Hope city Auto suggest you.
A faulty starter motor also means engine trouble for you. Since a starter motor is basically a DC current motor working on the battery’s power & having many parts like carbon brushes, bearings, bushes, armature, Clutch and Pinion, solenoid switch, etc, it too needs regular caring for. As the vehicle runs more, these parts experience wear & tear causing faulty operation. At Hope city Auto we keep, service and maintain Stepney starter motors to instantly fix your immediate need. Our experts then try to repair or replace these parts in your original motor and bring it back to its original condition.
