OTC, an SPX brand, has introduced its new Genisys EVO automotive diagnostic system featuring Code-Assist—an experience-based database of validated fixes. The company has upgraded both the Genisys hardware and software platforms with the latest technician-requested productivity enhancements and new Code-Assist designed to help technicians navigate to the correct diagnostic solution faster. Based on direct input from technicians, important new features include video output capability for projection to a PC monitor, USB communications for use with a diagnostic workstation, asynchronous DataStream with 4-line graphs per screen to better view and analyze data in real time, all packaged in a new ruggedized housing.

The diagnostic system was developed using more than 3.5 million hotline calls to the Identifix Repair Hotline and the 5 million+ Direct-Hit uses by Identifix customers each year. Unlike the traditional list of theoretical potential causes provided by service manuals, Code-Assist supplies validated fixes for the B, C, P and U codes actually being set on vehicles and then ranks them by frequency, designating them as Top Reported Fixes, Frequently Reported Fixes and Also Reported Fixes. Code-Assist saves time and increases productivity by helping to prioritize diagnostic strategy, the company said.

Code-Assist is installed on every new Genisys EVO tool and is available for earlier Genisys tools in 3421-104 USA 2008 Domestic Software and the popular 3421-106 Genisys Super Bundle Productivity Kit.
