Run and query specific component and system tests. Support for generic
and enhanced bi-directional tests

Factory scan tool options available (not included in base kit)
All generic scan tools can only access the powertrain, no matter what
SAE Modes (J1979/J2190) they use for communication. With our expansions,
you can access dozens of systems (ABS, transmission, GEM, SRS/Airbags,
Instrument Cluster, etc.) generic scan tools can't even see. This gives
you access to thousands of sensors and dozens of bi-directional
controls/system tests. Click here to see our enhanced support for Ford,
GM, Chrysler Toyota, Mazda, Nissan, BMW, Land Rover, Honda, Subaru,
Mitsubishi, Isuzu, Porsche, Mercedes, Jaguar , and Audi. Click here for
complete enhanced option details.

Bi-directional support. You have the ability to initiate system and
component tests. Support for this feature is vehicle dependent.
