Why Automotive Chooses ABI
Repairing automotive electronics in-house isn't a workaround, it's a capability. BoardMaster and RevEng diagnose and repair down to component level, keeping production lines and legacy vehicle platforms running without waiting on OEM lead time, so your team controls the timeline rather than an external supplier.
“We are enthusiastic & see many possibilities for the BoardMaster to help us repair PCBs. The training provided has given us the knowledge to use the BoardMaster in many different ways.“
Edil Trinta, Principal Engineer at Collins Aerospace.
Cut weeks of OEM lead time down from weeks to hours
A car brake manufacturer's supplier quoted a month for a replacement board, repaired in-house with BoardMaster in two hours.
Keep production line electronics running without OEM dependency
Robotics controllers, servo drives, and inverters diagnosed and repaired on-site, not sent out and back.
Support legacy vehicle platforms without OEM dependency
RevEng recovers the schematic directly from the physical board when no good samples or documentation survives.
Automotive Applications
A board that comes back No Fault Found is inventory that should be flying, not sitting in a queue. This is where in-house, component-level repair applies.
ECU & Sensor Circuit Boards
- Component-level repair of ECUs and sensor boards without OEM documents
- Extends support for legacy vehicle platforms no longer in production
- Pairs with RevEng when no schematic survives for the board
Production Line Test Benches
- Repairs end-of-line test bench boards in-house
- Restores test equipment to service without OEM repair lead time
- Keeps production lines running without a stalled test station
Robotics & Automation Controllers
- Component-level repair of robotics controllers, servo drives, and inverters
- Diagnosed on-site rather than sent out and waiting days for return
- Keeps production line electronics running without OEM dependency
EV Battery Management Systems
- Component-level repair of EV battery management system boards
- Keeps BMS units in service without full-pack replacement
- Resolves faults simpler test equipment reports as No Fault Found
ADAS & Sensor Electronics
- Component-level diagnosis of ADAS camera and radar processing boards
- Resolves intermittent faults live comparison testing can isolate
- Reduces dependency on OEM replacement for sensor electronics
Powertrain Control Electronics
- Component-level repair of motor and inverter control boards
- Component-level fault isolation across digital and analogue circuits
- Expandable test coverage from 64 to 256 channels as fleets grow
FAQs
Answers on repairing automotive production and vehicle electronics in-house, down to component level, without relying on the OEM.
Can BoardMaster repair automotive ECU and sensor boards?
Yes. BoardMaster diagnoses and repairs circuit boards at component level, including automotive ECU and sensor electronics, without requiring OEM documentation.
Does ABI equipment repair production line equipment as well as vehicle electronics?
Yes. The same in-house repair process applies to the boards inside production and end-of-line equipment — robotics controllers, servo drives, inverters, and power supplies — reducing downtime caused by equipment failure.
How much faster is in-house repair than an OEM replacement board?
One car brake manufacturer’s OEM supplier quoted a month for a replacement circuit board; the same board was diagnosed and repaired in-house with BoardMaster in two hours.
Can RevEng recover documentation for legacy automotive platforms?
Yes. RevEng generates a schematic or net list directly from the physical board, supporting repair of legacy platform electronics with no surviving documentation.
