Meritor WABCO announces the release of TOOLBOX 12, the latest version of its PC-based diagnostic software that expedites vehicle diagnosis, increases uptime and optimizes work for technicians.
“Vehicle uptime is a major industry focus, and Meritor WABCO is doing its part to improve fleet productivity by offering diagnostic tools that accommodate quick, accurate assessments and return vehicles to the road,” said Stephen Hampson, president and general manager for Meritor WABCO. “With the increasing complexity of safety and efficiency systems, as well as the introduction of our Aftermarket Programming Tool in early 2015, TOOLBOX is vital for service efficiency.”
TOOLBOX 12 includes expanded diagnostic capabilities and support for anti-lock braking systems, electronic braking systems and hydraulic power brakes. TOOLBOX 12 also includes OnGuardACTIVE diagnostics, aftermarket electronic control unit (ECU) programming updates and an improved quick-start guide. The new software is now available for purchase.
