FOCUS Diagnostics 32 SNAP-ON BOOSTS WORKING LIFE ENJOYMENT SNAP-ON’S cloud Altus is designed to make pre- and post-scan reporting easier than it has been, thanks to improved functionality, the company says. “Performing a pre-repair scan can find hidden issues and make sure customers are aware of problems before any work is done, while a post-repair scan confirms for them that repairs and services were completed properly,” Snap-on says. “With the new release, the Vehicle System Report for pre- and post-scans on Modis Edge and Solus Edge can be automatically uploaded to ALTUSDRIVE. com.” The document can then be printed, emailed or sent via text to the customer – a way of boosting customer confidence, Snap-on says. The company has added new features to Zeus and Verus Edge diagnostic tools, which have an improved menu, backup reminder alert and scanner module quick connect screen. “Among many new systems featured are the all around vision camera for 17 different BMW models; extensive coverage for the VW Crafter, which is a new vehicle included in the update; and the electronic parking brake and lane departure warning for several Mazda models,” Snap-on says. > continued from page 31 DRIVEPRO MAKES ITS DEBUT FRESH OUT of the Autologic design office is DrivePro, a multi-platform diagnostics tool combining both diagnostic software with technical support from VM-trained master technicians. The new product includes expert guidance and symptom-driven advice at the touch of a button, alongside flash programming and coding, backed by a Windows 10 platform, built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. “Building on Autologic’s experience of integrating vehicle diagnostics with live master technician and software support, we now bring a much broader range of manufacturer diagnostics together with Remote Assist Programming, enabling our technicians to remotely program new ECUs with the manufacturers’ own software – all on the same device.” Andrew Betteley, Autologic chief technical officer. supported by more than 40 master technicians. As a result, workshops can feel confident in using HGS for all their diagnostic and calibration needs,” the company says. Delphi’s latest diagnostics tool is said to offer more accurate information to technicians, across a range of vehicle parameters. DS-nano, which is available from early 2019, is based on the stand-alone DS150E and DS450 tools, and can read and erase codes, recode and activate components and reset service lights. “Today’s modern car has around 300 diagnostics parameters monitoring the performance of its systems. By 2020 it is expected there will be up to 1000, each one with the potential to tell garages something that will help them locate and solve faults more quickly,” says Jean-Francois Bouveyron, vice president, Delphi Technologies Aftermarket EMEA “For garages equipped with the right tools and expertise, this provides a significant opportunity to offer high-value repairs in a fastgrowing market. DS-nano is the perfect first step.” 30, 31, 32 Diagnostics.indd 3 04/10/2018 11:22
