  • the control software of the vehicle tester can only activate those functions in the communication with the electronic control units of the vehicle, which are also required for the respective workstation. This allows a simple and convenient handling of the specific vehicle testers or universal operating and display devices at specific workstations in the workshop. For the users of the vehicle test equipment at the workplaces, the necessary qualification in dealing with the control unit communication is reduced, since the communication between the electronic control units in the vehicle and the vehicle test equipment can run largely automatically and in the background.
  • the central customer database can thus be operated, for example, as a minimal solution on only one or two workstations. It is of course also possible to provide a workshop network in addition to the storage of the data on the VCI, for example to provide greater data security or to keep a reserve solution available in the event of defects or failures.
  • the selection of job and / or vehicle to be performed at different workstations can be dispensed with since all necessary information for this is already carried in the VCI with the vehicle from workstation to workstation.
  • a dynamic update of the order status is guaranteed, since at each Workplace achieved results and identified parameters can be stored in the VCI.
  • redundant post-identification can be omitted at some workstations if this has already been done in an upstream work step.
  • the present invention provides a mobile communication interface for identifying a vehicle and for communicating with the vehicle-mounted electronic control units in a workshop, with a connection device that is designed to connect a vehicle in a workshop to the mobile communication interface
  • a working data storage device configured to store vehicle records from a central customer database or from a vehicle inspection device for additional vehicle identification data, inspection, diagnostic, and / or maintenance result data from vehicle inspection, diagnostic, and / or maintenance steps performed in the workshop on the vehicle
  • a communication device that is adapted to provide these enhanced vehicle records to vehicle testers or the central customer database preferably to transmit wirelessly and to exchange information between the electronic control units installed in the vehicle and theajiprüfausn at different workplaces in the workshop.
  • the present invention provides a system for identifying, diagnosing, maintaining and repairing a vehicle in a workshop, having a mobile communication interface according to the invention, a central customer database and a plurality of vehicle test devices, each having a diagnostic server device for establishing communication with the mobile Communication interface and by means of the mobile communication interface with built-in electronic control units in the vehicle, an operating and display device for controlling the vehicle tester and the mobile communication interface, and different vehicle test modules, which are designed based on the examination, diagnosis and / or maintenance result data perform vehicle-specific vehicle tests on the vehicle.
