Bosch has announced a new HDS 200 heavy duty scan tool, which the company said is designed to be an easy-to-use, cost-effective solution for technicians working on Class 4 - 8 trucks.

The new HDS 200 is a solution for aftermarket repair shops that sometimes service heavy- and medium-duty trucks and can also help heavy-duty shops that need a second triage tool or a mobile diagnostic tool for their repair trucks.

According to Bosch, the HDS 200 is ruggedized and features a color display with clear diagnostic trouble codes. To better assist technicians in diagnosis and repair, the tool displays and graphs live data from SAE standard MIDS/PIDS along with on-screen definitions of diagnostic trouble codes and is HD-OBD compatible. Users have the option of recording data to playback information. The tool offers Global OBD II Quick Test for gasoline and diesel engines. A demonstration mode allows technicians to quickly get up to speed on tool features and funtionality. 

The Bosch HDS 200 Heavy Duty Scan Tool kit includes a 9-pin Deutsch cable, 6-pin Deutsch cable, 16-pin HD/OBD II cable, USB cable, quick start guide and carrying case.
