Abstract: The crucial importance of maintaining a modern vehicle is underlined by the need to diagnose problems with the vehicle’s engine. Due to the increasing complexity and reliance on advanced technology in vehicles, accurate and efficient engine diagnostics play a key role in recognising problems, guaranteeing optimum performance and improving overall vehicle reliability. This paper delves into the escalating challenges and advances in automotive technology, making it relevant to both the automotive industry and the wider transport sector [1,2]. The first section discusses in detail the development of automotive engines along with a diverse set of innovative diagnostic methods aimed at addressing the complexities and challenges inherent in engine diagnostics [2]. The second section proposes an integrated approach that includes real-time sensor data collection, processing, and anomaly identification. The proposed hardware and software elements are designed to create a unified diagnostic system, increase the efficiency of problem detection and solution. The third chapter is devoted to the development of vehicle engine diagnostic tools based on sensor data analysis, following a systematic approach with rigorous testing at every step. The proposed structural and functional schemes ensure optimal integration and performance. The technical implementation confirms the successful communication between the vehicle’s electronic control unit, microcontroller and user interface. Chapter 4 presents an economic analysis with a detailed description of the costs associated with the research. 7 The object of research is automotive engines. The subject of research is the diagnostics of automotive engines. The purpose of the study is to offer solutions to improve the efficiency of automotive diagnostics by offering innovative approaches, developing practical tools and ensuring uninterrupted communication between key components of the diagnostic system. The results of the study highlight the critical role of modern vehicle maintenance, focusing on innovative diagnostic methods and proposing an integrated approach using the open-source ESP32 microcontroller for efficient and uninterrupted communication in automotive engine diagnostics aimed at improving reliability and performance.
