When the tool arrived, Brandt said the setup was a matter of installing the software and plugging in the USB dongle. “The test only takes a couple minutes to run and not only helps you determine if the converter is a problem, but also gives you something to show your customer and helps explain what is happening with their vehicle that is causing the code.” “The software makes quick work of determining whether the converter is failing or not by simply clicking a button and following the on-screen instructions,” he says. In addition, Brandt adds, the eSCAN ELITE is ideal for diagnosing a vehicle with a P0420 Catalyst Efficiency code.

“For those struggling to understand fuel trim, it gives a visual indication that makes it simple to understand what is happening with the vehicle,” he says. His favorites, to name a few, include the ability to zoom in and use cursors on the graph, as well as simple one-click tests for fuel trim and volumetric efficiency.Īside from being one of his favorite functions, the fuel trim test is also the most beneficial function, Brandt notes. The eSCAN ELITE saved time during driveability diagnostics, Brandt says, and features many useful functions. According to Tanner Brandt, technician and owner at Tanner’s Auto Clinic in Greenville, South Carolina, the Automotive Test Solutions (ATS) eSCAN ELITE is a “great tool to add to your diagnostic arsenal.” As electrical components on vehicles continue to advance, having the right diagnostic tools in the shop is more important than ever.
