Modern vehicles are computerized wonders, with on-board computers that allow repair workers to use diagnostic tools and testers with excellent results. On-board diagnostics tools, like the Craftsman OBD2 tool, will analyze Check Engine light warnings and provide access to online repair solutions. The repair person can then view a full diagnostic report that includes probable causes for trouble light warnings.

Cars, trucks and SUVs that were manufactured from 1996 are fitted with on-board diagnostic computers. These computers receive input from systems like the engine. The OBD2 tools are then able to accept information from that on-board computer for problem diagnosis. Power for the tool is provided either by the vehicle battery or from an outside power source. Auto mechanics tools, like these high tech diagnostic tools and testers, make repair troubleshooting faster and more accurate. Online solutions are also accessible using data from the OBD2 units.

Advanced diagnostics tools can be programmed with the exact vehicle make, model year and engine type to customize information. They will provide prioritized lists of possible trouble spots for the technician to examine first. These tools are good for repair shops because they can increase speed of repair time and help to sell more parts to customers. For do-it-yourself mechanics, these diagnostic tools and testing devices direct repair energy to the real problems. This saves time that might be wasted on trial and error efforts.

Certain diagnostic tools allow recording and playback of data, graphing of data, and some models allow downloading of data to a PC. All these tools and testers provide a shortcut for mechanics to utilize when troubleshooting. Some diagnostic tools from reliable manufacturers like Craftsman can also diagnose many earlier model OBD1 vehicles cars that were built between 1991 and 1995. Their CanOBD2&1 Scan Tool Kit with PC Software and Optional RepairSolutionshas this capability, and it includes a French and Spanish interface, estimated repair costs, flash updating and memory.

Video inspection systems are another new development improving the repair and diagnosis business. With these small remote video camera units, even the smallest problem areas can be well lit and inspected via a video screen. These remarkable diagnostic tools are very affordable and well worth the investment.
