The MAHLE TechPRO Professional Aftermarket Diagnostics application<\/a> (Fig. 9) was recently introduced by GM Customer Care and Aftersales to help U.S. dealerships with diagnosing non-GM vehicles. The diagnostic app provides dealerships\u2019 used car departments and collision repair centers with a convenient and effective way to diagnose most non-GM vehicles.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The TechPRO software diagnostics application doesn\u2019t require any new hardware. The app can be used with the dealership\u2019s current Techline computer and the MDI\/MDI 2.<\/p>\n

Similar to GDS2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Offering functionality that will be familiar to those using GDS2, it can be used to quickly scan, analyze, diagnose and repair most non-GM makes and models. The app offers diagnostic data on a number of control modules, including the ECM, BCM, TCM, ABS, HVAC, TPMS and many others.<\/p>\n

With the application installed on a Techline PC, users can make their VCI Device Selection (MDI or MDI 2) from the menu on the home page and then begin to gather data from the vehicle. Once connected to a vehicle, select Auto Navigation to read the VIN or click Manual Navigation to enter the make, model, and year of a vehicle. The software decodes a VIN within seconds and reports all DTCs from the control modules on the vehicle. The app also can be set up to automatically perform an all-module DTC check on the vehicle. (Fig. 10)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In addition, the app has snapshot replay and graphing functions to assist with reviewing and analyzing vehicle data.<\/p>\n

One Subscription for All<\/strong><\/p>\n

One annual subscription for the software application covers the entire dealership. It can be installed and run on any dealership computer that meets current GM PC specifications. Additional information, including how to get started, make and model coverage, and software downloading tips, is available through mahletechpro.com\/gm<\/a>. (Fig. 11)<\/p>\n
