Origin
We were approached over seven years ago by a large logistics company that needed a quick and easy-to-use tool for their front-line technicians. It wanted a tool that could be used to pull codes and perform regens prior to bringing out a full scan tool, and thus, the HD Code II. The HD Code III is the next evolution of our top-selling tool.
Features and benefits
-
Perfect triage tool for quick scanning of the engine, brakes, and transmission on light to heavy duty commercial vehicles and off-highway equipment.
-
Use it before bringing out a full scan tool or laptop, which not only cost more but are usually harder to operate and take longer to boot up. By the time a laptop boots up, users of the HD Code III can already be diagnosing and performing regens on a truck.
-
The HD Code III is highly portable with its handheld touchscreen platform and wireless Bluetooth VCI.
-
The HD Code III covers close to 85 percent of the capabilities needed to diagnose and repair commercial vehicles at a fraction of the price of a full-fledged scan tool.
