Snap-on introduces MODIS™ Ultra, a new multifunction tool for complete start to finish diagnostics that includes a fully integrated scan tool, lab scope, vehicle-specific communication software and expert information resources – all in one diagnostic tool. MODIS Ultra offers the unusual combination of sophistication and simple operation, suited for all technicians from rookies to seasoned diagnostic specialists.
“MODIS Ultra is the much anticipated sequel to Snap-on’s most popular diagnostic tool ever,” said Mark Schaefer, director of marketing, Snap-on Diagnostics. “We took all of the features that automotive technicians loved about the first one and made it even better with enhanced functionality, a faster operating system and a bigger, full-color touchscreen display. MODIS Ultra is not just retooled – it is completely re-imagined.”
MODIS Ultra combines the quick operation and broad scanner coverage of the famous SOLUS Ultra®, along with a built-in graphing meter and two-channel high-speed scope. Exclusive Fast-Track Guided Component Tests include automatic meter setup, connector diagrams and a waveform library, providing the fastest, most confident way to find, verify and replace the part at the root cause of the problem.
MODIS Ultra includes unique automated tests rarely found outside of factory tools such as cylinder contribution tests, drive cycle procedures and after-repair validation tests. Plus millions of exclusive vehicle-specific Troubleshooter tips that are based on real world experience to keep technicians on the right track for a confident diagnosis.
Much more than codes and data, MODIS Ultra doesn’t leave technicians hanging after the diagnosis. Complete the job with special tests and functions such as caliper rewind, brake bleed, automated evap test, throttle initialization, tire calibration, VIN read write, steering angle reset and many more.
MODIS Ultra features:
• OEM-specific coverage for over 40 domestic, Asian and (optional) European makes
• Coverage for dozens of vehicle systems, including new technologies such as steering sensor, TPMS, suspension, park assist, hybrid power and more
• Covers OEM-specific codes, live data, functional tests, relearns and adaptions
• Single keyless adapter for OBD-II complaint vehicles – scan without stopping to change keys
• Operate with either 8-inch touchscreen functionality or four-way thumb pad
• Store data, screen captures, movies and past vehicle ID on the high-capacity Micro SD card
• Unique steady-charge lithium-ion battery system charges automatically when scan data cable is connected to the vehicle
• Super-fast boot up – ready to use in five seconds
• Snap-on Fast-Track Troubleshooter productivity solution provides expert tips and timesavers
“For over three decades, Snap-on has been synonymous with tough, reliable diagnostic tools that are developed with leading technology and packed with time-saving software - this has been proven time and time again in automotive repair shops, by professional technicians who care about fixing cars right the first time,” said Schaefer. “All that knowledge, experience, and timesaving technology is now contained in the new MODIS Ultra.”
