HEAVY duty diagnostics have been around about as long as the internet. And much like the World Wide Web, diagnostics have made great strides over the past three decades. In the early days, technicians had to rely on dash lamp flash codes and paper service manuals. Eventually, technicians came to rely on detailed fault descriptions and seamless links to online repair information. Now commercial vehicles can even be repaired remotely in some instances. "When the transition from mechanical to electronic started to take place, sensors started showing up on commercial vehicles," says Bruno Gattamorta, vice president of sales and marketing for Cojali USA, a manufacturer of technology and diagnostic tools. "When you make the jump to around 2007, that's when everything [went] crazy with aftertreatment systems due to the EPA and greenhouse gas norms. Now in 2020, everything seems to be electronic. You can even adjust the heater on the rearview mirrors and calibrate the AC." |
