The automotive diagnostic landscape shifted significantly with the introduction of the Controller Area Network (CAN) protocol in 2003 model year vehicles. Recognizing this industry evolution, Mac Tools (www.mactools.com) introduced the 2008 Taskmaster – ET3008A, a comprehensive diagnostic tool designed to meet the demands of modern vehicle systems and beyond, while still being relevant for earlier systems. This tool doesn’t just cover the basics; it’s engineered to handle early domestic OBD I systems and all OBD II protocols, including the crucial CAN protocol that became standard in 2003.
The Mac Tools 2008 Taskmaster – ET3008A brings powerful, new features to your diagnostics arsenal. Beyond just engine and transmission, this Taskmaster now dives into Body and Chassis systems along with Engine, Transmission, ABS, and Air bag diagnostics, offering a more complete picture of vehicle health. Technicians can now access NEW Repair Information with typical sensor and data specifications directly on the tool, streamlining the diagnostic process. Coverage is extensive, including USA Domestic OBD I & OBD II (1984-2007) and USA Asian OBD I & OBD II coverage (1983-2007). Furthermore, the Enhanced OBD II Mode 6 screens provide deeper insights into vehicle performance. Expect comprehensive data and DTCs for both Domestic and Asian vehicles, alongside Global OBD II Asian & European coverage (1996-2007).
