Maserati chooses PicoScope for dealer-level diagnostics
Maserati, the manufacturer of luxury sports cars, is justifiably proud of the high quality and reliability of its products. To help it maintain this reputation, the company has joined the ever-growing list of vehicle manufacturers that equip their dealers worldwide with PicoScope Oscilloscope Diagnostics Kits.
Pico supplied a customised version of its scope to match Maserati’s existing test instrumentation so that a minimum of retraining and retooling was necessary. We also supplied a customised version of the Pico Diagnostics software with battery testing, compression testing using the WPS500 and a new prop-shaft balancing function.
A spokesman for Maserati’s Training Department explained, “Pico adapted their product to our exact requirements, including some completely new tests, in an impressively short time. They worked with us continually to develop the hardware and training materials, which were well received by our engineers. The kit will improve the efficiency of our dealers and keep our training programme relevant to the latest vehicles.”
This is a real-life diagnostic article with a slight difference from the norm. The owner of this 2004 54,000 mile Smart Car started to experience a very noticeable misfire. This seemed like an ideal opportunity to prove the capability of the automotive kit and the new WPS500 pressure sensor!
