Professional Auto Diagnostic Tools

    Automobile diagnostic tools investigate and test vehicles to pinpoint problems and determine possible solutions. These tools speed the identification of problems, which accelerates the time it takes for technicians to correct them. Auto professionals use a variety of tools on the shop floor to asses the vehicle.

Scanning Tools

• Scanning tools, such as the X-431 Launch Tech Diagun, are designed with professional automotive technicians in mind. The scanning tool is packed in a compact main unit and features powerful diagnostic functions to determine vehicle malfunctions. It can be used on just about every car brand and offers wireless connectivity for faster diagnosis. Additionally, the X-431 Launch Tech Diagun is lightweight, portable and offers a high-resolution display.

Diagnostic Systems

• Diagnostic systems, such as the Subaru Diagnostic System, allow technicians access to various applications that aid them in their vehicle diagnosis. According to Auto SVS Technology, the system allows technicians to keep diagnostic tools up-to-date, and provides vehicle data-stream information and service information at one platform, in a convenient graphical interface.

Computer Tools

• Another way to asses vehicle troubleshooting is by computer. Products such as PC Scope Software help turn the personal computer into an oscilloscope, which allows technicians to see varying signal voltages to detect faults. Scope software works with a diagnostic scanner to present the vehicle data in real-time. Advantages include fast sampling speeds, and large memory and bandwidth.
