Introduction:
Proper maintenance of heavy duty equipment is crucial for ensuring optimum performance and preventing costly repairs. Diagnostic tools play a vital role in identifying and troubleshooting issues before they escalate into major problems. In this blog post, we will explore the different types of diagnostic tools available at OBD2Tool’s Heavy Duty Tool Sales and how they can help in maintaining your tractor-trailers.
1. Heavy Duty Diagnostic Scanner Tools:
Diagnostic scan tools are essential for retrieving codes from a vehicle’s onboard computer system. These tools can detect abnormal operating conditions and help you address them promptly, preventing further damage and expensive repairs. OBD2Tool’s handheld diagnostic scanners offer live data monitoring, allowing you to track oxygen sensor readings and coolant temperature. Additionally, they monitor the readiness status of specific vehicle systems required for emissions testing.
2. Trailer Testers:
Trailer testers are invaluable for testing and troubleshooting electrical, air brake, and anti-lock braking systems in trailers. Equipped with indicator lights, these diagnostic tools provide visual feedback on the status of different circuits. By indicating whether a circuit is functioning correctly or detecting faults, trailer testers can help you identify and address issues promptly. They can also perform leakage tests and measure air leakage rates, ensuring timely repairs.
3. Digital Battery Testers:
Digital battery testers evaluate the health and performance of vehicle batteries by measuring parameters like voltage, internal resistance, and cold cranking amps. By connecting to the battery terminals, these testers provide accurate readings of the battery’s capacity and ability to deliver power. OBD2Tool’s digital battery tester features a built-in printer that generates detailed reports with test results, making it easier to track the battery’s condition over time.
4. Infrared Thermometers:
Infrared thermometers are non-contact gadgets that measure surface temperatures by detecting infrared energy. These tools are essential for identifying cooling components that require repairs, such as evaporators and condensers. They can also measure the temperature of electrical connections, circuit breakers, or wiring, helping technicians identify potential hotspots or overloaded circuits.
