Mac Tools is bringing its company into the 21st century with a couple of apps designed to help automotive mechanics gain the edge in mobile diagnostics. The new Mac Tools OBD II TaskMobile Lite smartphone app gives automotive professionals “vocabulary definitions” of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) that cause a vehicle’s check engine light to illuminate. This is a free app which is available for the iPhone, iPad and Android devices. You have to be one heck of a master mechanic to have memorized the more-than 5,000 diagnostic trouble codes. The TaskMobile Lite provides mechanics with a dictionary of diagnostic trouble codes right in the palm of their hands. We’d wager that having a tool like this will enable pros to get their job done faster and more efficiently.
Mac Tools Smartphone App Features
The app looks very easy to use. You simply enter the numerical code provided from a diagnostic scanner and hit “Check Code.” Seconds later, the code definition gets retrieved and displayed – in plain English. Additionally, the app maintains a running DTC log of all entered codes for translation.
The app also features a reference section that includes a history of Mac Tools, critical diagnostics products for purchase via MacTools.com, frequently asked questions, and an easy how-to-use guide.
The app is currently available as a free download on iTunes or Google Play.
