p Vividia ME-601i
p CarDAQ-Plus 3 Oscilloscopes - the visual voltmeter
(1280 by 720 pixels) images or videos using their free app USee.
A 6mm flexible probe with an articulating tip can be
helpful with examining areas normally not easily accessible.
The unit also has a controllable LED light that surrounds the
lens allowing the technician to control exposure. I've been using
a couple of different borescopes that produce varying results
and come up short in many areas. I see an upgrade in this
category coming soon.
SCAN TOOL DIAGNOSTICS - LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
Modern vehicles are increasingly being equipped with faster
network protocols to support the growing number of electronic
systems and features that are being integrated into them. These
systems and features include things like advanced driver assistance
systems (ADAS), infotainment systems, connected navigation systems,
and more. With these advanced networks, your scan tool
interfaces need additional circuitry to communicate properly.
While CAN-FD is already supported within the GM MDI2,
the Ford VCM2 is not. If you're servicing late-model GM or Ford
vehicles, you may want to look at their next-generation interfaces.
Ford has recently released the VCM3, which supports newer
protocols, but due to the chip shortage, both tools have scarce
availability. One solution is to look at the CardDAQ-Plus 3 from
Opus. The CarDAQ-Plus 3 has some advanced future-proof
features, such as supporting 4-CAN channels plus CAN-FD, in
addition to being J2534 compliant. Additionally, the Mongoose
Pro from Opus has also filled the void for some of those affected
by chip shortages.
