ScanXL OBD-II Scan Tool Software
|
|
|
|
ScanXL™ is the professional line of diagnostic
scan tool software developed by Palmer Performance Engineering. Built
on top of their advanced scan tool technology, ScanXL™ delivers
the full range of generic diagnostics for any OBD-II compliant vehicle
sold worldwide, with optional manufacturer-enhanced diagnostics for
many vehicle types. ScanXL provides access not only to the
powertrain systems, but also ABS, airbag, and other proprietary
systems that would otherwise require expensive dealer tools to work
with (**see notes).
ScanXL™ comes in two different versions* -
ScanXL™ Standard and
ScanXL™ Professional and you can add enhanced data for either
or all three for Ford, Mazda or General Motors to either version.
* The software licenses are not interchangeable between
these versions, so make sure to choose the version that best suits
your needs & matches the hardware interface you intend to use it with.

Both
ScanXL™ Standard &
ScanXL™ Professional support the use of any J2534 compliant pass-thru
OBD-II interface for use as an OBD-II Scan Tool. If you plan to buy or already use a J2534 interface
in your service or repair facility to update vehicle software
calibrations, our ScanXL™ software will be the perfect addition
to your tool set. With no additional hardware costs beyond the J2534
interface, ScanXL™ will give you access to OBD-II
Diagnostic Data for thousands less than dealer OEM equipment!
|
|
Available SAE J2534 Compliant Pass-Thru Devices
* The
Tactrix OpenPort 2.0 also functions as a J2534 Device with
either ScanXL or PCMSCAN. Although not technically J2534 compliant, it
will perform diagnostics for ISO/CAN Vehicles using the J2534 version
of Palmer Performance Engineering software. |
|
ScanXL supports all Elm
based Scan Tools, OBDLink and all J2534 pass thru devices |

Manufacturer Enhanced OBD Diagnostics:
If you are the owner of an independent service or
repair facility then you know that good tools can mean the difference
between being able to find and fix the problem, or having to send the
customer elsewhere. With generic only OBD-II scan tools you often
cannot service some vehicle systems like ABS, airbag, or other
proprietary systems. Using our ScanXL™ diagnostic scan tool, you now
have access to dealer-level diagnostic capabilities for not only the
powertrain systems, but also ABS, airbag, and other proprietary
systems that would otherwise require expensive dealer tools to work
with*.
Enhanced OBD Data currently supported for the following
