- The odometer (mileage) value of the connected product will now be shown in the Product Identification screen as well as recorded into Product History log.

- Tech Tool now has the ability to read and clear fault codes communicating on J1939 (Example: Bendix Fusion system). Note that all fault tracing for Bendix Fusion must be done using Bendix ACOM.
Sometimes when connecting to a vehicle, Tech Tool shows the Climate unit (MID 146) as being offline; what can cause this?
A common cause is a vehicle with Low Battery Voltage. Some vehicles are equipped with a Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD) that can disconnect the power to certain circuits, like the climate unit. The correction is to check and charge the batteries. Low vehicle batteries can also cause an programming error code 207 “Could not set broadcast state for all nodes”. To learn more about the LVD, read the LVD Description, Design and Function found in Impact.
