TERMINAL FOR DIAGNOSING VEHICLE FAULTS AND SELECTING SERVICE STATIONS

Abstract

This utility model pertains to vehicle diagnostic tools and is designed for self-service maintenance, troubleshooting, decoding fault codes, coding and adapting vehicle electronic control units, and selecting specialized service stations for troubleshooting and vehicle repair. The terminal is designed as a stationary device and comprises a housing, a computer, a touchscreen monitor, a multi-brand multiplexer, an OBD2 cable for connection to the vehicle's diagnostic port, a reel for automatic OBD2 cable retraction, a printer, a payment module, and a communication unit. The reel automatically retracts the cable after the diagnostic procedure is complete, allowing for monitoring of the cable's effective length and reducing wear.The terminal's software enables diagnostics of vehicle electronic systems, storing reports of detected faults, and selecting specialized service stations based on diagnostic results. This utility model expands diagnostic functionality and reduces the time required to troubleshoot vehicle faults.
