Component Testing
Standalone Module Diagnostics
We provide precise, standalone testing for electronic control units (ECUs), validating their behaviour before they’re integrated into a vehicle system. Using our custom-built diagnostic scripts and test tools, we verify that each module responds correctly to diagnostic requests and meets all defined communication and performance criteria.
Advanced CAN & Fault Simulation
Our test suites go beyond basic validation. We subject ECUs to a range of simulated network and power conditions to assess how they perform under stress, including:
Fault Tolerance Testing – Simulating Bus Off conditions, network faults, and invalid message patterns to ensure robust communication handling.
Quiescent Current Measurement – Measuring standby current to identify parasitic drain issues before they reach the vehicle.
Voltage Variation Testing – Evaluating ECU response during over- and under-voltage conditions, such as during cranking or low battery scenarios.
Message Timing & Repetition Checks – Ensuring correct CAN message behaviour and compliance with timing tolerances.
These services are regularly delivered in partnership with OEM engineering teams, but are equally suited to Tier 1 ECU suppliers looking to validate early-stage prototypes or refine their modules ahead of production integration. Our modular test approach supports faster issue resolution, improved quality assurance, and smoother handoff during platform development.
System Integration Testing
We understand that system integration needs vary widely—from incremental product updates to full lifecycle support for new vehicle platforms. That’s why our services are designed to be flexible, technically robust, and globally deployable.
Whether you’re running an ongoing development programme or launching a new ECU from the ground up, we can supply skilled, professional engineers on a service contract basis. Our teams work seamlessly alongside OEM and Tier 1 engineering groups—both onsite and remotely—to help you meet your technical and delivery targets.
With over 20 years of experience in the automotive industry, we specialise in:
Software and feature validation
Functional and diagnostic testing
Test script and suite development
CAN network testing and simulation
Fault injection and boundary condition testing
Issue replication and root cause support
We’ve supported projects across the UK, Europe, and beyond—whether in R&D centres, manufacturing plants, or directly on production lines. Whatever the challenge, we bring deep technical capability, adaptable resource models, and a commitment to delivering results.
Lab Car Build & Commission
Helping you start testing earlier—with the right tools, built the right way.
At VTS, we know that vehicle testing doesn't always wait for a finished car. Our Lab Car Build & Commissioning service gives your team a reliable, well-built platform to begin integration, validation, and diagnostics—before the full prototype is even available.
We work alongside you to understand your needs and build lab cars that reflect the way you work. Whether you want full end-to-end support or just help with specific parts of the process, we’re here to deliver solutions that are practical, dependable, and ready to test.
What we offer:
Variant planning – helping you define exactly what needs to be included
Support with parts and modules – from sourcing to setup
Custom lab car builds – built with care, clean routing, and test-ready access points
Power systems – reliable, fused, and safe
Full system testing – making sure everything works as expected
Final sign-off and documentation – so your team can begin with confidence
We can support you as you build your own lab car—or manage the entire build for you. However you choose to work with us, you'll have a clear plan, responsive support, and a team who genuinely understands what good testing looks like.
Early testing starts here—with clarity, care, and a commitment to getting it right.
Specialised Testing
At VTS, we know not every test fits inside a predefined process. Alongside our core system integration work, we also support specialised and non-standard testing, helping teams solve challenges that require a more tailored approach.
Whether it’s a one-off technical hurdle or an area of testing still being defined, we work closely with you to understand the need—and build a solution that’s both practical and reliable.
Here are a few examples of where we’ve helped:
EMC Testing
We supported a customer team by developing a custom software package to help streamline their results acquisition during electromagnetic compatibility testing.Over-the-Air (OTA) Software Updates
We ran testing on pre-release software to make sure OTA updates would install smoothly across customer vehicles—avoiding failures that could leave vehicles undriveable.Automotive Cybersecurity
We’ve tested both the implementation and deployment of cybersecurity solutions—working to identify weak spots before they become real-world problems.
If you’re working on a test that doesn’t follow the usual path—or you need help making your current process more efficient—we’re here to help. Our team brings hands-on experience, a problem-solving mindset, and a genuine interest in doing good work.
Let’s figure it out, together.
Low Volume Bespoke Harnesses
Built to fit your project—not the other way around.
At VTS, we design and build custom cables and harnesses in low volumes, tailored specifically to your development or testing needs. Whether you're working on a one-off prototype, setting up a test rig, or supporting a short production run, we create practical, reliable solutions—quickly and with care.
We work closely with you to understand what you need, then build exactly that. No overengineering, no unnecessary extras—just clean, clearly labelled harnesses that do the job properly.
What we offer:
Custom pinouts, lengths, and connector types
Breakout and inline harnesses for test access or logging
Fast turnaround, fully tested, and ready to use
If you can describe it, we can build it. And if you're not quite sure what you need yet, we're happy to talk it through.
