The THINKCAR Thinktool 391 is a professional workshop-grade car diagnostic tablet for independent workshops and commercial use. On its 10.1-inch touchscreen it reads all installed control units – engine, transmission, ABS, airbag, body and comfort electronics – shows fault codes in plain text, displays live data as graphs and actuates components via bi-directional actuator tests. Coding and adaptations after replacing parts are done directly on the device.
The set includes the compact THINKLINK Lite diagnostic interface with its own display and control buttons. It plugs into the OBD2 socket and transmits the data to the tablet via Bluetooth – you move freely around the vehicle. The rugged tablet with rubber housing and stand has 4 GB RAM, 128 GB storage and a 12,600 mAh battery.
