Car diagnostic tool

Car diagnostic tools are versatile diagnostic devices for vehicles. Our devices check that the engine and its peripheral components are working properly. Car diagnostic testers read, among other things, the fault memory of the control unit in vehicles. These motor testers allow you to quickly identify, fix, or delete faults in cars and many other vehicles. These kinds of OBD2 scanners are essential in any workshop. Auto diagnostic tools are usually connected to the OBD2 interface of the vehicle.

          Auto diagnostic tools – rapid fault diagnosis for cars & trucks

          Our vehicle diagnostic tools can be used to carry out tests and retrieve information from a vehicle's engine. Inexpensive multimeters only measure voltage and current in the engine compartment, whereas our car diagnostic tools not only diagnose faults but also display all key engine functions. For good visibility, fault codes, for example, are displayed on high-contrast LCD displays.

          ProLux devices for engine diagnostics with OBD scanner and LCD screens are compatible with almost all major car manufacturers such as Audi, VW, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche and many more. The car diagnostic tester is connected using the OBD port or the newer OBD2 port usually found in the vehicle. OBD enables connection to the vehicle's electronic control unit via the CAN bus. OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics. Using a suitable OBD connector, you can access the system memory of the engine control unit with your auto diagnostic tool. The information displayed on the device is either stored information or real-time information. For example, intermittent faults (i.e. faults that are not permanent) are stored. By analysing this data and the fault codes retrieved, it is usually possible to quickly identify the cause of the fault. You can also delete various faults that are displayed.

          Our devices receive version updates for their internal software. This ensures that the devices can also be used on current passenger car models. Please note that all our auto diagnostic tools operate at 12 volts. It is therefore not possible to read data from a 24V electrical system. A 24-volt tester works similarly to the 12-volt car diagnostic testers described here. If you need help, simply get in touch with us.

          The right car diagnostic tester for your needs

          Before purchasing an automotive oscilloscope, please check your operational requirements. If only voltage and current in the engine compartment need to be checked, a very inexpensive, simple car diagnostic tool will be sufficient. An automotive oscilloscope can be used to detect faults with electronic components. Do you own a car repair shop, or are you a dedicated professional? Do you want a diagnostic check related to engine management? Then we recommend one of our vehicle diagnostic tools with an LCD display. These connect with a cable or wirelessly via the OBD or OBD2 socket of the vehicle. The connected tester only provides a diagnosis when a connection is established via OBD to the engine control unit and its fault memory, and the diagnostic tool can process the vehicle's data. For this reason, it is essential to always keep the software on your auto diagnostic tool up to date. This is the only way to read fault codes in modern vehicles. You will find instructions for software updates in the user manual for your car diagnostic tool.

          Simple car diagnostic tools for voltage and current

          Our affordable multimeter (clamp multimeter) measures voltages and currents. The voltage can be measured without contact. You can also test electrical connections, diodes, or motor speed. The included temperature sensor can also be used to measure surface temperatures. However, the device cannot read or delete important engine information or fault messages from the engine electronics.

          More comprehensive auto diagnostic tools

          With our range of car diagnostic tools and code readers for cars, it is easy to perform simple to comprehensive diagnoses of the engine and vehicle electronics. The most cost-effective code reader for cars reads the stored faults and other technical data in the vehicle via the OBD2 interface. It is possible to delete fault messages. This is ideally suited to technically minded amateurs, or for independent workshops.

          Our auto diagnostic tool 900 opens the door to professional applications. The data read from the OBD-II interface is transmitted wirelessly by the car diagnostic tester set. This device enables complete system diagnostics for more than 130 makes of vehicle. ECU coding can be used to optimise the vehicle's performance and adjust its functions. A bidirectional control system enables communication with the vehicle systems and components. This allows you to precisely locate the problem. The device also offers 28 special functions such as oil, SAS and brake reset. It also allows you to bleed the diesel particulate filter and the ABS.
