With the advent of onboard diagnostics, mechanics received a new way to diagnose automotive problems.  Where past efforts required years of skill and experience in order to diagnose problems with considerable accuracy, technology now allows mechanics to pinpoint individual problems within many systems of a vehicle.  The days of incorrect repairs and costly errors are mostly a memory for the automotive repair industry.

Different systems within the car interact with diagnostic systems in different ways.  Fuel systems are more complex then electrical problems and therefore require more data and information to diagnose properly.  This is the primary inspiration behind scanners and analyzers that retain information during repair procedures.  Having information handy during the repair process eases the work process.

With these principles in mind, Robinair Air Conditioning RO16900 Refrigerant Identifiers retain information about air conditioning systems during repair.  They display the percent of air in the A/C system or tank and feature a visual hydrocarbon alarm.  This data increases the mechanic’s chances for a safe and successful repair.  Equipping your shop with an electric identifier is a great way to increase your onboard diagnostic capability.
