Mobile franchise Snap On Tools has introduced a handheld car diagnostics scanner, Ethos, to its vast inventory of professional tools delivered to mechanics and workshops across Australia. The new Ethos has advanced functions and upgrade capabilities and communicates with vehicles that date as far back as 1980, covering manufacturing codes and data systems from engine, transmission, ABS and airbags.

Easy to use, Ethos can clear manufacturer specific trouble codes, graph multiple data parameters, and it can print, record, and save data to any PC. A deluxe version has vehicle communication software for Chrysler, Ford, GM and more than a dozen Asian vehicle models.
