Mitchell 1 updates TruckSeries with quick ABS, engine and transmission identification

The company says this can help technicians quickly locate and identify the system control module when a truck is brought in for service.

Mitchell 1 has added a new ID Tag identification and location feature to its TruckSeries maintenance software. The new feature is designed to assist technicians in finding and recognizing ABS, engine and transmission identification tags on trucks undergoing service, Mitchell 1 says.

The company says this can help technicians quickly locate and identify the system control module when a truck is brought in for service.

“We spend a lot of time with customers to ensure that TruckSeries is user-friendly and meets their expectations. Sometimes we hear about tasks that cause a minor bump in the road, and addressing these issues is a priority for us,” said Kristy Coffman, director of Mitchell 1’s Commercial Vehicle Group.

“Adding these ID tags was fairly easy to accomplish and has been very well received,” she added. “It saves time so technicians can get trucks back on the road faster. This frees up service bays for additional jobs, and in turn, boosts overall revenue for the shop.”

The new ID Tag identification and location feature is currently accessible within TruckSeries, both in the 1Search and Service Manual sections.
