Volvo Truck Diagnostic Software

Volvo Troubleshooting Engines and Transmissions

Two of the most critical components of Volvo trucks are the engines and transmissions. Here too, our Jaltest Volvo diagnostic tool comes out on top.

You get extensive coverage of the most popular engines for Volvo trucks. These include the Volvo D11, D13, D16 engines, Cummins ISX (in select configurations), and Mack MP7/MP8 (shared platform with Volvo engines).

When you use the Jaltest tool to check engine faults in Volvo trucks, there are several functions such as fault code reading for Volvo truck DPF. When soot accumulates in the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), the engine performance drops a lot and in severe cases, your truck might go into limp mode. Our Jaltest Volvo code reader tool identifies the issue and guides you through clearing the DPF.

When it comes to transmissions, the Jaltest software is not left behind. Among the transmissions covered by the Volvo diagnostic tool are the Volvo I-Shift Transmission, Allison Transmission (integrated into vocational Volvo trucks), and Eaton Fuller (when configured). The Jaltest Volvo truck transmission fault codes help you to identify the issue and have it rectified before it becomes a major problem.

The Working of The Volvo Truck Fault Code Reader

Fault codes, also known as Diagnostic Fault Codes (DTCs) help you to quickly pinpoint any issue with the performance of your Volvo trucks. You then use the software to read and interpret the fault and get the solutions required to bring the truck back on the job at the earliest.

We will elaborate on this point further as fault code reading and solutions are at the core of the Jaltest Volvo scan tool software.

Take for example, the fault code No. 2098 is displayed on the screen of your Jaltest software laptop after you connect it to the onboard computer of your Volvo truck. The fault code P2098 indicates issues with the Engine Oil Over Temperature. Now here is how you will be guided through the resolutions.

• Step 2.1: Check the oil temperature sensor
• Step 2.2: Check the wiring and connections
• Step 2.3: Check the control unit
• Step 2.4: Check the engine oil level
• Step 2.5: Check oil leaks
  

This guidance will go on step after step until the fault code is cleared.

This process is valid for any issues with other systems and components. For instance, Fault P10C0 is for Compression Brake Control Circuit 2 and P1121 is for EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) System where the temperature is too high.

Deep Coverage Of Volvo Trucks With The Volvo Diagnostic Scanner

When you access the Jaltest user-friendly diagnostic menu for fault clearance, you get several options. As part of preventive maintenance to keep your trucks in ideal performance mode, undertake periodical full system scans to handle any potential issue at the root. Or you can carry out troubleshooting by symptoms where any specific fault is dealt with accordingly.

For System Scans, you have fault code reading, ODR data, maintenance resets, manual diagnostics, and others. You can also search by system name for fault diagnosis and solutions that include the Engine Control Module, Exhaust gas treatment systems, Common powertrain controller, Gearbox lever, and others.

What sets the Jaltest Volvo diagnostic tool a notch above others in this field is the ease with which you can configure and set it up on your laptop. There are no elaborate procedures to follow and soon after the download, you can get down to fault analysis and resolutions.

Additionally, we offer three updates to the software every year to keep the diagnostic tool in sync with technological innovations made to the systems and components of Volvo trucks.
