Diagnostic Innovations' new Vehicle Diagnostic Assistant (VDA) computer based vehicle diagnostic system give enhanced capabilities to the truck, bus and auto technician. It integrates fleet software, a RP1210A compliant interface box, 6 & 9 connectors, and an OBDII connector into a complete system. The VDA diagnostic tool has an interface that assists the technician with the selection of software and interfaces. This allows mechanics to view and clear fault codes and to view parameters for engines, transmissions and braking systems. The VDA utilizes rugged Panasonic Toughbook computers. The system comes with a computer, cables, interface boxes, software and a carrying case.
