Eclipse explains how it can help vehicle operators and workshops speed up processes and improve revenue using faster and more detailed diagnostics.
Jaltest Key Functions: ■ DPF regeneration/replacement; ■ Injector coding; ■ CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) Diagnosis; ■ Speed limiting; ■ Gearbox calibration; ■ AdBlue system checking; ■ BUS ECAS calibration; ■ Service maintenance reset; ■ Air drier reset.
The Jaltest software from Eclipse covers a wide range of manufacturers such as Mercedes, Volvo, Irisbus, Neoplan, Optare, Setra, Van Hool, which the company claims gives it an extensive coverage in the field of buses, both city and long distance. It also supports a wide range of vehicle systems such as gearboxes, engines, suspension and brakes.
In addition to this, Jaltest incorporates the brand customisation function that allows the user to create custom vehicle specifications for their exact fleet, thus reducing the need to search for control units to gain identification and to save time diagnosing. The system analysis will, for example, also enable the user to validate individual components, thus avoiding unnecessary and costly replacements that would normally be part of a traditional process of eliminating potential fault causes.
