Snap-on Rolls Out New Software Update for its Diagnostic Platforms
Snap-on’s latest update to its diagnostic platforms has rolled out millions of new codes, tests, tips, and data, as shared in a recent press release.
The latest software release brings with it 2025 model year updates for 14 OEMs, in addition to new expert-based information. In every software upgrade, Snap-on adds coverage for late and older domestic, Asian and European models, including this one—70,000 new systems have been added, as well as 600 more functional tests and 2025 code scan and clear for all makes.
Also included in the update are exclusive guided component tests and images, intended to help locate components faster.
Snap-on recently started adding software highlights to its website, where information can be found about some of the coverage available in Snap-on diagnostic tools, including hints and tips. Each month, a new topic will be featured to help technicians diagnose problems faster and tackle the toughest repairs with confidence. Upcoming topics include Be the Renegade Master, Programming, Body Shop Special, and EV and Hybrids Heading Your Way.
Jason Gabrenas, national trainer for Snap-on Diagnostics, recently conducted a webinar on the new software release, discussing the highlights and what has been going on over the last six months, that is available for viewing on the Snap-on Diagnostics YouTube channel.
Technicians and shop owners who are already software subscribers, those who have purchased a prepaid plan, or have participated in a free software offer can perform their own software installation by downloading the latest software release through the ShopStream self-service application.
“Snap-on diagnostic tools are known for outstanding performance, solid construction and intuitive design, along with instant access to online and in-person training solutions,” said Helen Cox, marketing and client services director, Snap-on Diagnostics. “But what really sets them apart is what’s inside, both when they are built and over the life of the tools. Staying up to date with each software release ensures that technicians have access to what they need to be efficient and productive in the service bay.”
