Maverick Diagnostics brings Autocom ICON tool to aftermarket
Maverick Diagnostics announces the launch of the Autocom ICON diagnostic tool, a revolutionary addition to the automotive aftermarket.
Developed in Sweden, the Autocom ICON harnesses over 30 years of diagnostic expertise to offer reliability and efficiency in vehicle servicing. The ICON is designed to support an extensive array of systems, covering more than 40,000 systems for passenger vehicles and 18,500 systems for trucks.
Its advanced diagnostic capabilities include Intelligent Systems Identification, scanning, and updates. The tool is fully compatible with modern technologies, such as CAN FD, DoIP, Pass-Thru J2534, and Secure Gateway, ensuring it meets the needs of contemporary diagnostics.
In terms of design, the ICON boasts an intuitive interface featuring a multi-colour indicator for clear status visibility. It is built with a robust TPE plastic surface for durability, a replaceable cable for convenience, and is designed for easy handling. This makes it user-friendly for technicians.
The ICON is available with several software options to cater to various diagnostic needs. The Autocom CARS Standard software provides basic diagnostics, fault code management, real-time data, and essential service functions.
However, for those requiring more advanced features, the Autocom CARS Plus software adds electric vehicle coverage, guided diagnostics, and enhanced Secure Gateway support. The top-tier Autocom CARS Pro software further extends these capabilities with advanced Secure Gateway features and flight recording.
Additionally, the ICON can be equipped with the TRUCKS software, offering comprehensive diagnostics for trucks, trailers, light commercial vehicles, and buses.
Emphasising the importance of Secure Gateway
In today’s vehicles, protecting electronic data is crucial. Unauthorised access to a vehicle’s safety systems can lead to malfunctions and pose significant risks to road safety.
As manufacturers increasingly implement diagnostic Secure Gateway systems and firewalls to prevent unlawful access, the ability to service these security-locked vehicles becomes essential.
Autocom is proud to be both approved and certified for Secure Gateway access. Using the ICON diagnostic tool allows automotive professionals to perform critical functions, such as erasing fault codes, activating components, and resetting service lights, on security-locked vehicles with ease.
