BROADVIEW, Ill. — Bosch Diagnostics has released diagnostic software for the MTS 3100 Mastertech; ScanTest Software version 8.2.

According to Bosch, the MTS3100 Mastertech is noted for excellent scan tool software coverage for General Motors, Ford and Chrysler vehicles as well as Toyota, Honda, Nissan and other vehicle makes.

With this release, the Bosch MTS 3100 Mastertech is the first aftermarket multi-function scan tool to support OEM-level Ford output controls on CAN protocol systems. Also in this v.8.2 release is all-new Module Status support for Mazda for model year 1996 and later vehicles. And in an ongoing effort to increase shop efficiency and productivity, Bosch engineers have found a way to speed up the MTS3100 Vehicle Auto ID process even more. On average, the Auto ID process for GM vehicles is now 50 percent faster. For Ford vehicles, the process is now an average 66 percent faster. This means that GM and Ford vehicles can be identified in about 20 seconds, says Bosch.
