Bosch adds repair information database to ADS scan tools

Dec. 27, 2018
Repair-Source provides direct access to OEM service procedures, DTC troubleshooting, torque specifications, wiring diagrams, TSBs, maintenance schedules and fluid recommendations.

Bosch Automotive Aftermarket announced the addition of Repair-Source, a comprehensive library of OEM service and repair information, to its ADS series professional diagnostic scan tools. The new database, included with Bosch’s annual diagnostic subscription, is available now in software version 3.5. Repair-Source was designed to replace multiple subscriptions for OE information.

Repair-Source is included in Bosch’s annual diagnostic subscription cost, at no extra charge.

 “With Repair-Source and the new software version 3.5, techs can use this go-to diagnostic tool to scan more vehicles, confirm more diagnostic tests and turn cars more often with the correct repairs,” said Danijela Haskin, product manager. “Our tools make shops money, and the addition of Repair-Source gives them more repair information, in the tool and at the vehicle, to maximize their hours.”

Technicians using a Bosch ADS tool will see the Repair-Source service information database on-screen after downloading and installing software V3.5. Repair-Source provides direct access to OEM service procedures, DTC troubleshooting, torque specifications, wiring diagrams, TSBs, maintenance schedules, fluid recommendations and more.

In addition, Repair-Source integration brings:

  • Component locations
  • DTC codes and definitions
  • Estimated work times
  • Parts and part vector illustrations
  • Fluid recommendations
  • Maintenance schedules
  • Service procedures and specifications
  • Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs)
  • Vehicle identification and premium options
  • Wiring diagrams

Version 3.5 software release notes and additional information on Repair-Source can be found at www.BoschDiagnostics.com/Pro.
