Snap-on offers faster solution to ‘automotive mysteries’ with latest software

In a move that promises to “expedite the resolution of automotive enigmas,” Snap-on has released its latest software. The automotive industry equipment specialist says this autumn 2023 release “empowers technicians from the moment they power on,” providing them with an “unparalleled arsenal of tools and features designed to streamline diagnostics and ensure complete customer satisfaction.”

Talk is of a myriad of new coverage and industry-exclusive features, and Snapp-on opines that this software release “represents a quantum leap in diagnostic solutions” that will facilitate smarter repairs and happier customers.

Autumn 2023 highlights:

Snap-on has included a range of 2023 model year updates for all available makes, encompassing brands such as Alfa Romeo, Audi, Chrysler, FIAT, Hyundai, Kia, Lancia, Land Rover, Lexus, Mazda, MG, Nissan, Seat, Skoda, Subaru, Toyota, Volvo, and VW.

Comprehensive Code Scan and Clear Codes: The release also incorporates a comprehensive 2023 code scan and clear codes for all makes, ensuring that “no diagnostic stone is left unturned.”

Remarkable Growth: As Snap-on notes, the software boasts a “significant two-year growth,” with a 21 per cent increase in systems coverage, 30 per cent growth in PIDS, and a 16 per cent expansion in functional tests. This means technicians now have an even wider array of tools at their disposal.

Guided Component Tests: In Snap-on’s opinion, perhaps the most ground-breaking addition is the introduction of over 400,000 engine systems through new and exclusive Guided Component Tests. This feature offers more than 70 topic-based training modules directly on the tool, further empowering technicians.

Extended Ford Coverage: Ford 16-bit security sees an increase in model coverage for 2019 and beyond, covering vehicles such as EcoSport, Fiesta, Mondeo, S Max/Galaxy, and the Transit range.

New Features and Enhancements:

• ZEUS+ Enhancements: Battery-level viewing is made easier, ensuring technicians have a clear picture of their diagnostic tool’s power.
• SureTrack and Fast-Track Enhancements: Intelligent Diagnostic tip user enhancements provide invaluable guidance, making diagnostic processes more efficient.
• Enhanced Readability: Enlarged component images offer enhanced readability on high-resolution products, eliminating any guesswork.

“This revolutionary Snap-on software release promises to be a game-changer for automotive technicians, allowing them to conquer automotive mysteries with unprecedented ease and efficiency,” concludes Snap-on.
