Looking for fast and easy Global OBD-II diagnostics at the right price? Snap-on’s MICROSCAN diagnostic platform delivers solid power at a high value.

Other tools can pull OBD-II codes, but MICROSCAN is not simply a code reader. Technicians get all 10 modes of OBD-II for a complete diagnosis: read and clear codes, view live data, emissions readiness, onboard monitors, pending codes, permanent codes and much more. In addition, they can record and playback 64-frame data files.

“MICROSCAN offers the ultimate in ease and portability, allowing shops to verify repairs, road test, check emission monitors and solve basic engine and driveability problems,” said Chris Hockett, product manager, Snap-on Diagnostics. “There are times when even the most experienced technician needs a fast tool to clear codes, check emissions readiness or simplify jobs. MICROSCAN is the fast route from code to confident repair.”

Many OBD-II tools can show live data in text mode, but technicians also need a clear picture to see how live data changes over time. MICROSCAN offers live data graphing. Display and compare any two live data graphs side-by-side to see cause and effect.

A MICROSCAN exclusive is Snap-on’s Troubleshooter code tips, which get technicians to the root cause of a trouble code faster, saving diagnosis and repair time. Code tips show the most likely causes for thousands of common vehicle problems. Technicians will also appreciate MICROSCAN’s time-saving plug-and-play feature. MICROSCAN gets to work as soon as it is connected to a vehicle.  It automatically powers up, determines vehicle protocol and displays any trouble codes in as little as 10 seconds.

With MICROSCAN PRO, technicians get enhanced engine codes for GM, Ford and Chrysler, plus ABS codes. With the optional OBD-I adapter set, MICROSCAN can diagnose older vehicles.
