Origin
The AXONE 3 Mobile was designed in response to a growing OEM need to build low-emissions vehicles while maintaining sophisticated comfort features. Troubleshooting electronic systems on these vehicles can overwhelm even the most experienced technicians.
To meet the demands of the current and future automotive service and repair market, TEXA's objectives when designing the AXONE 3 Mobile were to build a top tester, and make it a tool that "never ages". It is logical to expect that automotive techs will be called on to repair systems not only in use today, but future systems in the developing hybrid, fuel cell and/or hydrogen technologies. For this reason, diagnostic tools must be able to upgrade to routines for maintenance procedures and electrical tests that don't yet exist, but will come in time.

• Scan tool software program still active after free update period.
