Performing a pre-repair scan can help identify structural repairs required.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not sure
• D. Sometimes

Answer: (B)

A diagnostic scan is used to check the vehicle’s electronic systems, not its physical structure. It reads fault codes, sensor data, and module communications to identify electrical or computer-related problems that could affect repair work. But structural repairs involve the chassis, frame, and body alignment, which require visual inspection, measurements, and possibly alignment jigs or other physical testing. A scan won’t reveal bent frames or panel misalignment, so it cannot identify what structural repairs are needed. That’s why the statement is not correct.
