ETHOS PRO comes standard with OEM-specific coverage and functions such as functional tests, codes, data, service resets, bidirectional controls, and adaptions and relearns to validate repairs and finish the jobs that others only start. It includes OEM-specific coverage for over 100 systems and 47 domestic, Asian and European makes for vehicles as far back as 1981. ETHOS PRO also covers newer technologies including TPMS, hybrids, body control, suspension, collision avoidance and infotainment systems.
Technicians will be more productive in the bay with features such as the automatic vehicle ID, one-touch all systems code scan and clear, and the programmable shortcut key to save results or perform frequent tasks with one touch. They will also benefit from quick navigation with the 5.5' color touch screen or the four-way keypad, and the ability to compare seven live data parameters on screen at once or graph up to four side by side to see cause and effect of vehicle faults.
ETHOS PRO has customizable settings to fit the way that technicians work including save/playback live data; custom data lists to speed display rate and view exactly the data they want; minimum/maximum triggers to catch data that falls outside the normal range; and graph zoom in/out to see more detail, find glitches and nail down intermittent problems.
ETHOS PRO automatically boots up in only 10 seconds when connected to a vehicle and powers from the vehicle so technicians can keep moving all day long, plus it has an internal battery to review results off-vehicle.
April 2, 2018—Snap-on has introduced its newest software, Upgrade 18.2, which offers expanded OEM-specific coverage, expert tips, guided analysis, general repair, collision repair and more.
'For every software upgrade skipped, service technicians risk not having coverage for even common repairs brought into their shops,' said Leian Wunderlich, software program manager, Snap-on Diagnostics. 'With regular software upgrades, technicians will make their tool ‘like new' again. Not only will they get the latest software coverage, but they'll also get coverage from previous upgrades so they'll be ready for most any vehicle that rolls into their bay.'
The latest update for Snap-on diagnostic platforms includes more than 400,000 codes, data, tests and tips for technicians to handle systems such as diesel, TPMS, electric steering and hybrid power systems with the most comprehensive OEM-specific coverage for 100 vehicle systems and 49 manufacturers.
