Autel introduced the MaxiSYS MS909CV more than two years ago. The advanced commercial-vehicle diagnostic tablet is compatible with more than 80 U.S., Asian and European light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicle brands, according to the company. Autel added coverage for construction and agriculture vehicles in late December 2022, including coverage for Caterpillar- and Cummins-engine vehicles.

The 9.7-inch wireless tablet performs extensive vehicle diagnostics, including the ability to read/erase codes (active and inactive codes), view and graph live data and perform active tests as well as special functions. The tablet offers an extensive service menu and includes ADAS-calibration software for multiple vehicle classes. The included MaxiBAS B200 battery, starting and charging system tester and alligator clamps, and multimeter and amp clamp, enable extensive analysis.
