Vehicles from light diesels to Class 8 heavy duty trucks, Pro-Link Ultra offers licensed and tested, OEM-proprietary coverage for major systems such as engines, transmissions, ABS, instrument cluster, emissions, SCR, body controls and more, which makes the tool ideal for everything from fleets, dealerships and owner-operators to repair shops, municipalities and mobile truck services. Pro-Link Ultra provides a wide range of coverage for the systems used by the major OEMs including JCB, Freightliner, International, Volvo, Mack, Paccar, Kenworth and Peterbilt. Pro-Link Ultra provides essential maintenance functions that let technicians read and clear fault codes, monitor vehicle and driver performance with trip data, create health reports and view live system data. It also includes powerful repair functions such as live data graphing for finding tough problems, special tests to verify component failures, and the ability to program replacement components and perform custom Electronic Control Unit (ECU) programming.

All devices download executable files from the vehicle vendor's web site for transfer to on-board vehicle computer systems.

For standardization, this tool is used by all technicians, who receive training on its use for all Air Force vehicles. SNAP-ON has built this kit specifically for the Military, it does not have to hook up to a wireless internet and can be mobile to be used anywhere in the field if vehicles breakdown.
