ALLDATA, a name synonymous with comprehensive automotive repair information, continues to innovate with its cutting-edge All Data Scan Tool Software: ALLDATA Diagnostics. Marking over a decade of leadership at the SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) show, ALLDATA, an AutoZone company, unveiled this transformative technology designed to convert a standard tablet into a robust, professional-grade scan tool. This innovative approach provides technicians with unparalleled access to OEM-direct repair data and advanced diagnostic capabilities directly at their fingertips.
ALLDATA Diagnostics turns a tablet into a powerful scan tool, integrating repair and collision data for efficient diagnostics.
Unlike traditional handheld scan tools, ALLDATA Diagnostics utilizes a Vehicle Connection Interface (VCI) that plugs into the vehicle’s OBD II port. This VCI wirelessly connects via Bluetooth to a tablet – whether Android, Windows 10, or iOS – empowering technicians with the flexibility to conduct comprehensive diagnostics from the most convenient location around the vehicle. This tablet-centric design not only enhances mobility within the shop but also leverages the familiar interface of tablets for improved user experience.
A significant advantage of ALLDATA Diagnostics lies in its seamless integration with ALLDATA Repair and ALLDATA Collision. This integration means that diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are directly linked to relevant OEM repair articles and ALLDATA’s interactive color wiring diagrams. This direct access to trusted repair information streamlines the diagnostic and repair process, saving valuable time and reducing the potential for errors. Furthermore, software and data updates are included within the subscription, ensuring technicians always have access to the latest vehicle information and diagnostic capabilities without incurring additional costs.
“We are excited to offer this revolutionary all data scan tool software solution to our valued customers,” stated Mitch Major, Vice President, Commercial Support, AutoZone, and President, ALLDATA. “The integrated access to ALLDATA Repair or Collision, combined with the ability to utilize existing shop tablets as scan tools, provides an unmatched level of convenience and efficiency for automotive professionals.”
ALLDATA Diagnostics delivers the extensive functionality expected from a high-end professional scan tool. It offers broad vehicle coverage, encompassing domestic, Asian, and European makes. Technicians can confidently retrieve and clear all manufacturer-specific codes, including P, B, C, and U codes. The software excels in reading and displaying PIDs (Parameter Identification Data), providing real-time sensor data from all vehicle modules and systems. Additionally, it offers bi-directional component control, enabling technicians to actively test and verify system components.
Beyond standard diagnostics, ALLDATA Diagnostics provides comprehensive pre- and post-DTC scan reporting. This feature is crucial for generating detailed repair estimates based on OEM standards. For collision repair facilities, the pre- and post-scan functionality with PDF export capabilities ensures vehicles are restored to their pre-accident OEM condition. This is increasingly becoming a mandated requirement by insurance providers and vehicle manufacturers, making ALLDATA Diagnostics an indispensable tool for modern repair shops.
