Diagnostic Test Equipment
Diagnostic Test Equipment
To diagnose a vehicle quickly and
efficiently, technicians and shops are no
longer recommended to have a selection
of tools to properly test the vehicle - they
must have those tools. As vehicles continue
to advance, it's not just a matter of what
tool, but which tools to use. Whether testing
EVAP systems, evaluating a battery's state
of health, inspecting brake calipers for
sticking, or checking for electrical faults,
here's some diagnostic test equipment
worth checking out to make your
customer's job a little easier.
FOR ELECTRIC AND HYBRID
VEHICLES
The EV Battery + Coolant Leak Detector
from Redline Detection is designed to
test the integrity of battery enclosures
in electric and hybrid vehicles. Durable
and compact, the unit connects to the
battery enclosure on or off the vehicle,
giving audible and visual progress and
precise pass/fail
indication, specific
to that battery and vehicle type, when
testing is complete. Data logging and
reports can be accessed remotely and
the machine is programmable for future
battery configurations. n
USES INFRARED
AND SURFACE
REACTION SENSORS
The INFICON AST Leak Detector Line is
designed for leak detection in any automotive
air conditioning system, from
R-134a and R-1234yf to CO2 and hydrogen
forming gas applications. The AST
(Automotive Service Tools) line includes
a UV inspection light to help verify the
leak source in systems where fluorescent
dye is present. AST300PPM and AST200IR
Leak Detectors are certified to both SAE
J2791 and SAE J2913 requirements and
include a quick check refrigerant gauge
to verify refrigerant levels in a R-1234yf
system. The AST100FG uses hydrogen
forming gas, saving technicians on cost
while reducing environmental impact
compared to leak checking with traditional
refrigerant, the company says. n
