No. OTC-3963 – OTC Enhanced Scan EP Module for PDA

OTC’s Enhanced Scan EP kit quickly turns an ordinary PDA into an affordable, diagnostic problem solver…

Enhanced Scan EP Module for PDA with its new embedded softare capabilities, the scan module snaps into any Handspring Visor expansion port to troubleshoot vehicles with enhanced and generic OBD II. Designed for professional use.

• Eliminates the weak point connection at the base of the PDA.
• No PC is required to load and reload software after memory loss.
• Features “plug and play.”
• Extra fast connection to Visor bus, much faster than serial connections.

Finding the problem is almost always tougher than fixing it. With today’s sophisticated, computerized vehicle systems, profitable driveability diagnosis is next to impossible without a good scan tool. But test equipment can be expensive, and budgets can be tight these days.

OTC has broken the price barrier! By using a PDA (Personal Data Assistant) you have the basis for scan tool analysis. All you need to add is OTC’s new Palm Scan module kit. This problem-solving partner can slash your diagnostic time and make money for you!

A portable scanner is now as essential to the automotive technician as a good set of wrenches. But up to now, you had to lay out serious money for a scanner that could pinpoint driveability problems on 1996 and newer GM, Ford, Chrysler, Asian and European OBD II vehicles.

The OTC Palm Scan OBD II scanner module adapts the popular Palm and Handspring PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) units to scan tool troubleshooting, at a budget-pleasing price. The tester fits the palm of your hand, and a couple of AAA batteries provide power, lasting up to four weeks, depending upon usage.

The PDA is a natural for the shop. Applications will continue to be written for PDAs in the coming years, to accommodate future technologies such as wireless and internet upgrades and data interchange. (Palm OS 3.5.2H3, comes with Built-in Software Data Book+, Address Book, To Do List, Memo Pad, Fast Lookup, Advanced Calculator, City Time Work Clock, Graffiti Handwriting Software.)

Finding intermittent failures is a snap. Up to now, you had to ask a customer to drive the car for a couple of days, hoping a trouble code would be set. Now you can just attach this portable PDA-based scan tool to the vehicle, and it will display information to the driver when the failure occurs. The driver can use the tester with a minimum of training.
