You are better off purchasing a laptop and a J1939/J1708 datalink communicator, IE Nexiq USB Link. With a laptop, you can store virutally every kind of software to do everything you need. Our shop uses one, and it has all programs on it -- CAT, Cummins, Detroit, MBE, Allison, Wabco, Bendix, etc...

Going the scanner route is difficult. They are expensive, and when new engines/eletronics come out, you need to purchase another one for the same engine. If you go the software method, upgrades are usually free.

and how can you make a diagnosis?

Try this thread for adapter to use with a laptop

http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/f128/interface-140302/

The datalink adapter converts the language the truck or bus is speaking, (usually SAE J1939 or SAE J1708/1587) to your computer language RS232 via your PC com port or USB port

Hope this helps

It is too expensive, just the car diag interface it is ok, but i can't find dongle for the sofware i have.

[dafdiagnos]

where as car multibrand diagnostics are 10 a penny, hgv multibrand diagnostics are less common & more expensive as they don't have to follow a set protocol. the best way is to buy diagnostics for each brand, but for a basic diagnostic package you could go for the texa m8

[nicole99wu]

I think the ps2 and the autocom are the good choice. They both can diagnose all kinds of trucks.
