What you need to know about Automotive Diagnostics Softwares

Firstly, software/applications are computer programs that help to interpret data, edit data and
create data. Diagnostic tools software interpret data (interpret data from the ECU), edit data
and create data (Reprogramming of the ECU).

The features and functions of a Diagnostic Software depend on the kind of diagnostic tool used.

A powerful scan tool would work with a powerful software application.

Now, many Diagnostics tools manufacturers also manufacture specific software programs that
can only work with their tools, others give the licenses to only a few software developers. Most times when you buy a Diagnostic tool they come along with the software to run it.

Although these software applications are not usually free, there are many cracked versions online, just as there are many cloned Diagnostics tools online.

CRACKED SOFTWARE VERSION AND CLONED SCAN TOOLS

Now, I will talk about disadvantages of cracked Software Version and cloned scan tool.

Cracked Software Version maybe useful until you try to upgrade it, or try to access the manufacturer online database, then it may get blocked, or you won’t be able to access it.

Sometimes you need some access online services to do some powerful diagnostics operations such as SCN coding.

Same thing goes for cloned scan tool, as it may not be able to access every component of the vehicle, it may not also perform some typical reprogramming of the ECU. But some bad software developers are constantly finding ways to break these protocols, just as the manufacturer is also ensure strictly protocols to secure their products.

• Testing Automotive Fuses and Fuseboxes with Testlights.
  Automotive Fuses can be tested using testlights. The testlight is an electrical testing device that lights up a bulb when current flows through it in a complete circle, this means that the testlight has two ends; one must be connected to the positive terminal (live) and the other must be connected to the negative terminalContinue reading “Testing Automotive Fuses and Fuseboxes with Testlights.”
• What is On-board diagnostic?
  On-Board Diagnostic (OBD II) System/ProtocolOBDII protocol is a software technology inbuilt in cars from 1996 till date that helps in diagnostics and programming of such cars.
