the first circle will be highlighted blue and display a
checkmark.

OEM Compatible Scans and the Rules Engine

asTech continuously tests aftermarket tools across tens of
thousands of vehicles. Only those proven to perform equally as well
as OEM tools are classified as OEM Compatible or OEM C. Customers
get the same outcome as an OEM scan, but with aftermarket speed and
cost.

OEM Compatible Scanning

When a vehicle is ready to be scanned, connect the vehicle to
your asTech device and select New Request.
The asTech App will show the option to perform either an OEM
scan or an OEMCompatible scan. The most accurate and cost-effective
scan will include a recommended label.

Required vs. Recommended

With a required scan, an OEM Compatible scan will not be
available due to some vehicles requiring an OEM scan to keep your
shop in OEM certification compliance.
If an OEM C scan is recommended, it means that asTech has
verified the lower-cost aftermarket scan as meeting its OEM
compatibility requirements.
If an OEM scan is recommended it means that the OEM scan is the
only option that is expected to meet the accuracy required to
complete a safe repair.

The Rules Engine

The Rules Engine is a new feature that presents asTech users
with the most accurate, cost-effective diagnostic scan type for the
specific vehicle in the repair bay.
