Fault Code Identification for Workshops
ABout
Fast DTC at a Glance
Fast DTC is a module within TOPMOTIVE’s catalog and information system NEXT. It enables efficient and fast identification of fault codes directly within the workshop process. Fault codes are read out as usual via a diagnostic device and then retrieved via an interface or entered manually in NEXT. Based on the code numbers, users receive specific information about the origin and cause of the fault, the relevant product group and associated technical data – and can create a cost estimate and send it to the vehicle owner without interrupting the process.
