More Than Reading Codes
CATSCAN gives technicians access to professional diagnostic functions designed to help identify faults, evaluate system operation, and perform supported service procedures across construction equipment.
Go Beyond the
Check Engine Light.
Modern construction equipment depends on electronically controlled systems throughout the machine. CATSCAN provides technicians with deeper diagnostic access to supported systems so they can move from identifying a fault to understanding what the equipment is actually doing.
Fault Code Diagnostics
Read and clear supported diagnostic trouble codes to help identify faults across electronically controlled systems.
Live Data
View supported real-time system information and operating values while diagnosing equipment performance.
Active & Bidirectional Tests
Command supported components and systems during diagnosis to help verify operation and isolate problems.
Calibrations & Service Functions
Perform supported resets, calibrations, adaptations, and service procedures required during equipment maintenance and repair.
System-Level Troubleshooting
Work deeper into supported electronic systems instead of relying on basic generic code information alone.
Available diagnostic functions vary by manufacturer, model, year, controller, and system.

Know Before You Buy
Get answers to common questions about CATSCAN construction equipment coverage, diagnostic capabilities, connections, software updates, and ownership before choosing your setup.
Does CATSCAN work with all construction equipment?
CATSCAN provides diagnostic coverage for supported construction equipment across multiple manufacturers, but coverage is not universal.
Availability can vary by manufacturer, model, year, controller, system, and diagnostic function. Review the OEM coverage on this page and verify specific equipment when necessary.
What diagnostic functions can I perform?
Depending on the supported equipment and system, available functions may include fault-code diagnostics, live data, active or bidirectional testing, system-level diagnostics, calibrations, resets, adaptations, and supported service procedures.
Specific functions vary by construction equipment application.
Do I need additional adapters for construction equipment?
It depends on the equipment being serviced. The standard CATSCAN F7SN kit includes the main diagnostic cable, 6-pin diesel adapter, and 9-pin diesel adapter.
Other manufacturer or equipment-specific connections may require an additional adapter purchased separately.
What comes with the CATSCAN Plus Diagnostic Tool?
The supplied kit information includes the main tablet, VCI box, DB15-to-OBD16 main cable, 6-pin diesel adapter, 9-pin diesel adapter, AC adapter and charger, battery power clip, and hardshell case.
The package also includes two years of software updates and a one-year manufacturer hardware warranty.
Does the CATSCAN software require an internet connection?
The FCAR F7SN platform uses preloaded diagnostic software, allowing diagnostic work to be performed without requiring a continuous internet connection.
Internet access may still be needed for software-related services such as downloading available updates.
Does the CATSCAN diagnostic license expire?
The diagnostic software license does not expire based on the product information supplied for the FCAR F7SN platform.
Two years of software updates are included. Continued database updates after the included update period may be available separately.
Can CATSCAN diagnose more than construction equipment?
Yes. The CATSCAN Plus / FCAR F7SN platform is positioned for supported construction and off-highway equipment, agricultural equipment, material handling applications, and heavy-duty vehicles.
Coverage varies by application, so use the appropriate CATSCAN application page to review the equipment category you service.
How do I know which CATSCAN adapters I need?
Start with the manufacturer, equipment model, year, and diagnostic connector. The required connection depends on the construction equipment and system being diagnosed.
Additional adapters can then be selected around the equipment your operation actually services instead of purchasing every available connector.
Where can I learn how to use CATSCAN?
CATSCAN University is being developed as the central resource for tutorials, product information, diagnostic guidance, adapter information, software updates, and how-to content.
The CATSCAN video library will provide additional demonstrations and walkthroughs as new training material becomes available.
Check your construction equipment manufacturer, model, year, and configuration before ordering your CATSCAN setup.
