Press Release - NEW: HU31026 Airbag Simulator Resistor Reset Kit

Introducing the NEW HU31026 Airbag Simulator Resistor Reset Kit When an airbag deploys, stress is applied to the airbag wiring harness and connectors. Proper airbag replacement should include a circuit test to verify if the system wiring and connectors have been damaged. SRS control units are not like other vehicle control units. In many SRS systems, fault codes cannot be erased unless other test procedures have been performed and, in some cases, the control unit needs to be changed. Care must be taken to not introduce high resistance values greater than OE specifications through the wiring harness during diagnostic process. Damage could occur to the OE or a new SRS control unit. 1/10th of an Ohm variance from the OE spec could trigger an indicator...

Diagnosing Diesel Emissions Right the First Time

Modern diesel engines rely on sophisticated systems like Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) to meet strict EPA emissions standards for Nitrogen Oxides (NOx). As a mechanic or service manager, when a truck rolls in with a "SCR Performance Low" or a P20EE code, you know you're on the clock—the engine will derate, and an incorrect diagnosis means expensive, unnecessary parts replacement and unbillable labor. That's where the KANE-EGA1NO NOx Gas Analyzer becomes your essential diagnostic tool. The SCR System: How it Fights NOx Nitrogen Oxides are harmful gases created by the high combustion temperatures in a diesel engine. To combat this, modern vehicles inject Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), often known as AdBlue, into the exhaust stream before it enters the SCR...

EXHAUST GAS DIAGNOSTIC KIT WITH SOFTWARE TO ANALYZE

The process of diagnosing general performance, drivability, no code and catalytic converter issues can be complex and frustrating. Modern OBDII systems may miss problems too small or infrequent to set a code. In seconds, the Exhaust Gas Analyzer will detect problems too marginal to be detected by an onboard computer or a scan tool.    The 5-Gas Exhaust Analyzer is handheld and fully portable with all readings live, not calculated. Self-calibrating, no cal-gas required. And, a dyno is not required for NOx testing; simply plug it in and go on a road test.
