Top Repairs

What is the root cause of the problem? With this exclusive SureTrack feature, you’ll see which repair procedures are most frequently performed to successfully complete the repair on vehicles just like the one in your bay. Quickly determine the most likely fix based on a vehicle-specific model, mileage, codes, components and symptoms.

Causes and Fixes (ProView)

Easily plan a diagnostic strategy and explore repair possibilities by understanding how diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and symptoms are linked to common replacement components. With the Causes and Fixes feature, you can choose a code or symptom and see the corresponding components and their relationships. This feature is especially helpful when dealing with multiple codes generated by the vehicle.

Guided Component Tests

SureTrack’s exclusive component tests offer detailed and step-by-step diagnostic procedures to perform, often in conjunction with Snap-on diagnostic equipment. When indicated, known-good waveforms provide a point of reference to verify faulty parts. You get all the information needed to verify whether the component is operating properly or failing, including:

  • Component location – Where on the vehicle the component is located
  • Component operation – What purpose the component serves for the vehicle
  • Connector end views – Graphics showing the connector and identifying the purpose of each pin
  • Best test location – The best component and pin/s to test
