Automotive technicians looking to save time and
money in the shop can now utilize the upgraded Mac Tools TaskPlus Trilingual OBD
II/EOBD & Scan Tool (ET1205ANX). New features such as AutoID, acronym
library and component locator allow technicians to check and diagnose trouble
codes faster than they could with previous models, said the company.
While the AutoID function automatically selects
the vehicle being worked on (applicable for most 2000 and newer vehicles), the
acronym library and component locator help to eliminate guesswork.
Specifically, the acronym library clarifies terms such as “CTS” (better known
as Coolant Temperature Sensor), and the component locator provides text-based
descriptions to indicate where a component is located.
“The TaskPlus Trilingual OBD II/EOBD & Scan
Tool represents the next generation in scan tool technology,” said Paul
Zarlengo, product manager, Mac Tools. “Thanks to our upgrades, we’re confident
technicians will find this to be the strongest Mac Tools scan tool on the
market today and a must-have in the shop.”
The ET1205ANX, which is compatible with all 1996
and newer vehicles, has a visual indicator when communicating with a vehicle,
more than 15,000 code definitions, and the ability to print to a
PC.
Additionally, the tool includes features such as graphing on screen, the
ability to record and play back live data, and optional battery power. Live
data allows the user to view vehicle sensors, switches and relay inputs in real
time, while the engine is running. This feature is essential for diagnosing
drivability issues and intermittent faults. Finally, the ET1205ANX displays all
10 modes of OBD II data* and meets European OBD standards (EOBD) to provide
technicians everything OBD II has to offer.
The TaskPlus Trilingual OBD II/EOBD & Scan
Tool (ET1205ANX) is now available from Mac Tools distributors and franchisees.
