Snap-on has introduced a new heavy-duty diagnostics system to assist technicians in troubleshooting vehicles. The Pro-Link Ultra covers commercial vehicles from light diesels to Class 8 heavy-duty trucks.
Pro-Link Ultra offers licensed and tested, OEM-proprietary coverage for major systems such as engines, transmissions, ABS, instrument cluster, emissions, SCR, body controls and more, Snap-on said. Its coverage range includes systems used by the major OEMs including Freightliner, International, Volvo, Mack, Paccar, Kenworth and Peterbilt.
Pro-Link Ultra provides essential maintenance functions that let technicians read and clear fault codes, monitor vehicle and driver performance with trip data, create health reports and view live system data. It also includes powerful repair functions such as live data graphing for finding tough problems, special tests to verify component failures, and the ability to program replacement components and perform custom ECU programming.
The screen is readable in any lighting condition.

Big 8 ½-inch color display automatically adjusts for indoor and outdoor use
