Product Details:
Modern battery management systems used in today’s vehicles require their systems to be
reconfigured each time a battery is fitted, the EQP-061 tool allows you to reconfigure the stored
battery data on these modern vehicles.
The EQP-061 tool allows you to enter the new battery information quickly and simply, it can also
display the current battery’s details. In addition, the EQP-061 can be used to initiate a diesel
particulate filter regeneration.
Regeneration must be undertaken on a level concrete surface.
Regeneration must be undertaken externally and must not use exhaust extraction
instead.
o Must be undertaken away from combustible materials.
Regeneration will generate high levels of heat and noise whilst being undertaken, you will
need to:
o Ensure adequate levels of fuel are available and regeneration must not be started
if the fuel light is on.
o Essential that the level of engine oil is checked to ensure sufficient is available.
o Ensure that timing belts have been replaced in line with the manufacturer’s service
levels.
Regeneration cannot repair worn or damaged components.
Regeneration can take between 5 – 60 minutes dependent on the manufacturer.

day.

Trouble Codes on the vehicle you are currently diagnosing.
Statutory Inspection - (where relevant) - Statutory inspection for
vehicles 3 years and older
Additional Icons used (depending on Software purchased)
Fuel Filter - Diesel filter is changed. This filter is important to the general
efficiency of diesel engines. As the fuel passes through this filter, unwanted
particles and residue will become trapped, so that the fuel is passing to the
engine is 'clean'. Therefore, this filter has to be replaced when indicated to
ensure that your engine is running at optimum performance.
Vehicle Inspect – General inspection of the vehicle.
Emissions Test – This is part of the statutory test that tests the emissions fall
within the limits required.
Engine Oil - The engine oil and oil filter are changed because keeping the oil at
the right level and clean is vital to the protection and longevity of the life of
movable engine parts. Also, if you do a lot of short journeys, your oil filter will be
more susceptible to blockages caused by the condensation of water in the oil.
Spark Plugs - Spark plugs are replaced. When it comes to fuel efficiently, spark
plugs are one of the most critical parts of a petrol/gasoline car's engine. Defective
spark plugs can result in worsening emissions and increased fuel consumption,
and can even result in misfires if not replaced. Replacing these worn spark plugs
will improve the performance of the engine.
Rear Brake Pads - Brake pads are changed, and the brake caliper cavities are
cleaned. Failure to get your brake pads matched correctly will result in a brake
imbalance front to rear on your vehicle, and if the calipers are cleaned, any
squeaking in the brakes should be diminished.
Brake discs:- Surface and thickness - the importance of having a safe level of
thickness in your brake discs is paramount to your driving safety; if necessary,
the brake discs will be replaced.
Brake Fluid - Brake fluid is changed. The problem with brake fluid is that it
absorbs moisture from the air quickly. This is important because the amount of
moisture in your brake fluid affects your vehicle's performance.
