Understanding Autocom’s Professional Diagnostic Ecosystem
Autocom diagnostic software is an all round system of vehicle diagnosis created by Autocom Diagnostic Partner AB of Sweden since 1991. This is a professional level platform that is used by automotive workshops, fleet management, inspection firms and emergency departments across the globe to provide diagnostic services of high class and in different brands.
Core Software Platforms and Hardware Integration
CARS Software Architecture
The Autocom CARS system provides brand-specific diagnostics of passenger cars and light commercials with gasoline, diesel, hybrid, and electric powertrains. CARS supports more than 45,000 different system selections, allowing technicians to do fault code analysis, live data streaming, component activation, adaptation procedures and ECU programming.
TRUCKS Software Framework
Designed for heavy-duty applications, TRUCKS software provides comprehensive diagnostics for commercial vehicles, buses, and trailers manufactured from 1995 onwards. The platform maintains regular updates incorporating new vehicle models and enhanced functionality for professional fleet maintenance operations.
Hardware Interface Solutions
Autocom offers multiple Vehicle Communication Interface (VCI) options including ICON, CDP+, and CLASSIC models. ICON represents the latest generation hardware featuring integrated DoIP (Diagnostics over IP), CAN-FD support, PassThru SAE J2534 compliance, and secure gateway access for modern vehicle architectures.
Advanced Diagnostic Capabilities
Intelligent System Scan (ISS)
System Scan technology rapidly evaluates all vehicle control modules within minutes, displaying stored fault codes across multiple systems simultaneously. This automated diagnostic approach significantly reduces troubleshooting time while ensuring comprehensive vehicle analysis.
AutoVIN and System Identification
Automatic Vehicle Identification Number decoding ensures accurate model selection and parameter configuration. The Intelligent System Identification (ISI) feature automatically recognizes installed control units, guaranteeing correct diagnostic protocol implementation.
Flight Recorder Functionality
Real-time parameter recording during vehicle operation captures intermittent faults and performance anomalies. Technicians can monitor multiple data streams simultaneously, generating detailed graphs for precise problem identification during road testing conditions.
Secure Gateway and Modern Vehicle Access
Autocom maintains official manufacturer approvals for secure gateway access across VAG Group (Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, Skoda), Mercedes-Benz, FCA (Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Jeep), and Iveco platforms. Unlike competing solutions requiring token purchases, Autocom provides seamless authentication through integrated account management.
Electric Vehicle Diagnostic Coverage
Supporting 23 electric vehicle brands within CARS software and 10 brands in TRUCKS, Autocom delivers specialized EV diagnostics including high-voltage system shutdown procedures, battery management analysis, and thermal management system evaluation. This comprehensive coverage ensures workshop readiness for evolving powertrain technologies.
