Professional Bi-Directional Scan Tools

Professional Bi-Directional Scan Tools

Professional bi-directional scan tools give mechanics and advanced users the power to not only read and clear fault codes but also send commands to vehicle systems. This allows you to perform active tests, calibrations, and system resets that basic code readers or multi-system tools can’t handle — essential for deep diagnostics and professional-grade repairs.

Key Features

• Bi-Directional Control: Perform active tests like activating pumps, cycling fans, or opening/closing valves.
• Advanced Diagnostics: Access manufacturer-specific systems beyond the engine, such as ABS, SRS, transmission, and more.
• Service Functions: DPF regeneration, injector coding, battery registration, steering angle sensor resets, throttle body alignment, and more.
• Wide Vehicle Coverage: Works with multiple makes, models, and years, often including commercial vehicles.
• Live Data & Graphing: View and record multiple data streams for in-depth analysis.
• Software Updates: Frequent updates to cover the latest vehicles and functions.

FAQs on Advanced Diagnostic Tools

Q: How are professional bi-directional scan tools different from code readers?

Code readers can read and clear engine codes but have limited system access. Professional tools provide advanced diagnostics, active testing, and service functions across multiple vehicle systems.

Q: How are they different from multi-system scan tools?

Multi-system scan tools cover more than just the engine, but they often stop short of offering full active testing. Professional bi-directional tools give you both coverage and control over vehicle components.

Q: Can professional bi-directional tools replace dealership equipment?

While not every tool matches factory-level coverage 100%, high-end professional scanners can perform most dealer-level diagnostics and service functions at a fraction of the cost.

Q: Can these tools perform coding and programming on all vehicle systems?

While capabilities vary by model, our bi-directional tools are designed to cover a wide range of system programming and coding functions, from engine and transmission to advanced driver-assistance systems.

Q: Are these scan tools suitable for my workshop?

Whether you're servicing a diverse vehicle fleet or specialising in specific brands, our bi-directional scan tools are equipped to provide the comprehensive diagnostics and active testing capabilities modern workshops require.

Q: How do I choose the right scan tool for my needs?

Consider the types of vehicles you service and the level of diagnostics you need. Our team at AZscanners is here to guide you to the ideal tool for your workshop's requirements.
