OEM Diagnostic Tools | OEM Scan Tools
OEM Diagnostic Tools (Original Equipment Manufacturer) diagnostic tools are specialized hardware and software tools developed by automotive manufacturers. They are designed to interface with the vehicles they produce to diagnose, troubleshoot, and sometimes even reprogram various electronic components and systems within the vehicle.
These tools are usually tailored to the specific needs of the vehicles produced by the manufacturer and can provide in-depth information that general or third-party diagnostic tools may not be able to access. OEM diagnostic tools often communicate directly with the vehicle's onboard computers, allowing them to read error codes, view real-time data, and run specific diagnostic tests.
Typically, OEM diagnostic tools are used by authorized dealers and service centers, since they might require specialized training and can be quite expensive. They are essential for performing complex diagnostic procedures, software updates, and sometimes even required for warranty service work.
In some industries outside of automotive, you might also find OEM diagnostic tools, created by manufacturers of specific equipment, used for similar purposes of troubleshooting and maintaining those specialized products.
