Detect protocol

5 April 2012  

The HIC004 scan add-on tool acts as a protocol detector and break out box but also monitors voltage and will sound an alarm if it drops below 12 volts or goes higher than 15.2 volts. It will also act as a data saver when replacing the battery or checking alternator charging conditions. LEDs light up to display protocol detected, grounds and voltage. The unit serves as a diagnostic link connector (DLC) magnifier, DLC extender and spy – you can monitor the activity on each OBDII dedicated data line. The tool is available from Hickleys.
