Automotive Diagnostics Kits Now Even Better Value

Get up to £180 worth of accessories for free with our new Automotive Kits

Our multi-award winning Automotive Kits can be used to measure and test virtually all the electrical and electronic components and circuits in a modern vehicle, and now you can get even more bang for your buck...

Due to the immense popularity of the Pico Vehicle Electronics Diagnostic Course CD-ROM it is now included as standard with all new Automotive Diagnostics Kits — that’s £80 worth of high-quality training for free.

Since its release the Pico Vehicle Electronics Diagnostic Course has proven to be very popular with Pico Automotive Kit owners. The course features almost 2½ hours of video that can be played back, at your own time and speed, on any modern PC (see a clip from the course).

With this invaluable resource you can gain the necessary knowledge to confidently and accurately troubleshoot problems in today’s increasingly complex vehicle systems, and get the most from your Automotive Diagnostics Kit.

We have also added an extra 20:1 attenuator (2 in the 4-channel kit) so that you can capture inductive patterns such as primary ignition and injector voltage using all channels of your scope. If that wasn’t enough, we have also thrown in a plastic-coated S-hook to hang all those test cables safely away from the engine.

We Won Another One!

MOTOR magazine has just awarded our Mixmaster 12-Channel Automotive Signal Mixer with an acclaimed Top 20 Tools award.

With Mixmaster you can view an ignition parade display of up to 12 cylinders on any lab scope. If you have a 2-channel scope, then Mixmaster can also display 2 engine banks separately with up to 6 cylinders per bank.

Fuse Extension Leads

Often the simplest tools are the best, and our new fuse extension leads are no exception to the rule.

The Pico automotive team got fed up with constantly hunting around engine bays trying to find somewhere to measure the current through a circuit, so they came up with the fuse extension leads.

With the fuse extension leads you simply remove the fuse from the fusebox, replace it with a fuse extension lead and insert the fuse into the extension lead. To measure the current drawn, just connect your current clamp to the extension lead.

Motorcycle Diagnostics Kit

New to our range of automotive diagnostic products is the Pico Motorcycle Diagnostics Kit.

For the Pico Motorcycle Diagnostics Kit we took the same award-wining technology that we use in our car and truck diagnostic tools and added our own motorcycle-specific software. The result: an inexpensive diagnostics tool that is suitable for use on any modern motorcycle.
