R.H. Sheppard announces first diagnostics tool

R.H. Sheppard Co. announced the launch of its first piece of diagnostic software, the Sheppard Diagnostic Tool (SDT). The tool was developed in partnership with Cojali as a way for technicians to directly work with Sheppard systems. 

Since steering systems remain one of the most commonly misdiagnosed areas of a vehicle, Sheppard developed the tool to allow technicians to better serve their customers and more effectively diagnose and repair vehicle issues. 

The diagnostic tool will include comprehensive coverage with full access to every proprietary protocol for Sheppard Active Steering products, guided calibration workflows, OEM-level accuracy, and a dedicated support channel with embedded help links to connect technicians to R.H. Sheppard-certified support staff for real-time assistance and technical advice.

The SDT is available as a standalone program that works with any RP1210-compliant VCI, including Jaltest devices. Sheppard has created an optional add-on module that integrates its OEM protocols directly into the Jaltest platform to give users access without switching apps and reducing the learning curve.
