The Zurich OBD2 Code Readers are engineered to demystify complex vehicle diagnostics, offering precise readings and straightforward solutions. Every Zurich reader is built to diagnose and clear those pesky trouble codes and warning lights that can appear in virtually any car, light truck, minivan, SUV, and hybrid vehicle manufactured since 1996, whether it’s foreign or domestic. This innovative product line is designed to deliver all the features and functionality you’d expect from leading brands, but at a price that’s much more accessible.
The Zurich ZR4 stands as the entry-level OBD2 scanner in the series, making it an ideal companion for service writers and weekend mechanics alike. Its compact and user-friendly design allows for quick reading and clearing of trouble codes and lights. The ZR4 boasts a 2.8″ color display that can present up to 20 data points simultaneously, and users can choose between English and Spanish display options. Technicians will appreciate the freeze frame data feature, and the integrated, patented health monitor LED simplifies emissions readiness checks. The dedicated hot key provides instant, one-touch access to the main menu, streamlining the diagnostic process.
Moving up the line, the Zurich ZR8 enhances diagnostic capabilities with an oil light reset function and a comprehensive battery/alternator system check. Crucially, for domestic vehicles, the ZR8 extends its diagnostic reach to ABS (antilock brake system) codes and lights, allowing for their diagnosis and erasure. This model also supports live data streaming and includes a helpful trip cycle procedure. Like the ZR4, the ZR8 features a 2.8″ color screen displaying 20 data points and offers English or Spanish language settings. Retaining the user-friendly hot key for menu access and the freeze frame data feature, the ZR8 also incorporates the vehicle health monitor LED for emissions checks, maintaining ease of use while expanding functionality.
For master technicians tackling a wider range of vehicles, including domestic, European, and Asian makes, the Zurich ZR11 and ZR13 scanners are perfectly suited. Both models offer ABS code and light diagnostics and erasure, alongside live data graphing and recording capabilities, and a battery reset feature. The ZR11 and ZR13 maintain the bilingual English/Spanish display and the 2.8″ color screen showing 20 data points. Standard features across these advanced models include freeze frame data, the emissions readiness health monitor LED, and the convenient hot key for one-touch operation. To further enhance usability, these scanners include an OBD connector with an integrated LED light, simplifying connections in dimly lit under-dash areas. They also come with a battery, providing greater mobility around the vehicle and workspace. As the top-tier option, the ZR13 distinguishes itself as the only Zurich reader capable of diagnosing and clearing SRS (supplemental restraint system) codes and lights. Exclusive to the ZR13 is FixAssist, a powerful feature that not only diagnoses trouble codes but also provides likely repair solutions drawn from a real-time vehicle manufacturer field database, offering invaluable guidance for complex repairs.
