Bosch solution brings diagnostic benefits
Bosch’s workshop product portfolio includes a CV diagnostics solution in the form of ESI[tronic] for Truck and Off Highway, which is said to provide users with easy and efficient access to data for over 13,000 commercial vehicle models.
“Commercial vehicle workshops expect more than just ECU diagnoses from their software,” said Bosch.
“Intelligent troubleshooting, support for quick servicing (in line with the manufacturer specifications) and fast access to specific application information have become standard in the diagnostic sector.
“To meet the future demands of CV workshops and match ongoing developments in the vehicle markets, diagnostic software must be updated regularly.”
ESI[tronic] Truck manages and supports across all tasks ranging from troubleshooting to maintenance and repair, says Bosch.
“Commercial vehicle workshops benefit from maintenance schedules and circuit diagrams, diagnostic functions, repair and troubleshooting instructions, manuals and vehicle data for numerous commercial vehicle brands. To increase the efficiency of ECU diagnoses, mechanics are guided step-by-step from troubleshooting to all necessary maintenance and repair jobs.”
Workshops can choose a series of different data packages and even combine them if required: Truck Package (light and heavy commercial vehicles, trailers, LCVs, vans and buses); Agricultural Machinery Package (OHW 1); and Construction Machinery and Engines Package (OHW 2).
Often ESI[tronic] is most useful to CV workshops when they combine a range of hardware, says Bosch; some of the most useful combinations are: KTS Truck VCI – combined with DCU 120/220 or another compatible PC/tablet device; adapter cables; and manufacturer-specific adapter cables.
“Besides suitable data packages for different types of workshops, regular ESI[tronic] updates are of major benefit for the users,” added the company.
“The 2024/1 update for Truck, OHW 1 and 2 packages provides additional application possibilities and a higher market coverage: 8 new brands; 327 new models; 3,086 new control units; 2,028 new diagnostic functions; 207 new wiring diagrams; 52,150 new fault codes.”
