OTC / SPX Diagnostic Tools

OTC "Vision Premier - Engine Analyzer"



Vision Premier: Now with expanded capabilities, including coil-on-plug testing functions.

This solution provides you with complete electrical, fuel, ignition, and mechanical system testing capabilities, with the ability to add optional equipment as your needs change.


Let's face it, today's vehicle systems are more complex than just a few years ago, but they still manage to fail: The clink, chuggle, backfire hesitate, stall, and don't always start. The difference is, many of today's cars don't have a distributor, let alone distributor caps, rotors, coil wires, and plug wires. The Vision Premier is the complete engine analyzer needed for testing the sophisticated systems in these vehicles. Furthermore, it is designed for use with OTC's MicroGas 4 - and 5-Gas, and Horiba 4-gas Modules for BAR 97 accuracy. In a single, self-contained package, the Vision Premier incorporates:
  • A "real-time" oscilloscope that captures faults at high engine speeds.
  • A 4-channel lab scope to test powertrain components.
  • An ignition scope for troubleshooting complex ignition systems.
  • An easy-to-read graphic interface with large digital readouts or bar graphs allowing for easier diagnosis.
Features & Benefits
    State-of-the-Art Engine Analyzer
  • High-speed ignition scope, lab scope, and engine analyzer are expandable and updatable via CD ROM to protect your investment.
    Fast, High-Resolution Color Scope
  • Catches and displays intermittent and high-speed events that slower analyzers might miss, saving you diagnostic time.
  • Displays "live" digital ignition and lab scope patterns.
  • Provides the features and functionality of an analog scope with powerful digital storage features.
  • Largest and most detailed scope display.
  • Color indexing and on-screen numbers for easy cylinder identification.
    Preselect Waveforms
  • Waveform preselects and automatically formats the display.
  • Display known good waveforms.
  • Extensive waveform help library contains signal functionality and connection descriptions.
    Intuitive, Easy-to-Use Software
  • The Vision Premier user interface puts you just one or two clicks away from all test functions.
    On-line Help and Operator Guide
  • Provide instant information and reference tools.
    Flexible Meter Display
  • Integrated diagnostic tools combine digital, bar graph, and scope functions on a single screen. Monitors such data as vacuum waveforms, cranking amps per cylinder, ignition and exhaust gas measurements on a single screen.
    Automated Diagnostic System Tests
  • Prompted test routines for cranking, charging,cylinder power, and ignition system analysis. COnsistent testing from one technician to another improves customer confidence and satisfaction.
  • Diagnostic test limits pinpoint out-of-range data.
    Custom Fuel System Measurement Screen
  • Fuel injection, solenoid controlled carburetors, and mechanical carburetors have their own custom screen displays.
  • Integrates all the required tools on a single screen for quick and accurate diagnosis. For example, the fuel injection screen includes the injector waveform, pulse width, and exhaust gas measurements.
Coil-On-Plug is no Mystery
Not all vehicles can be tested via the ignition secondary circuit, because the engine needs to be disabled to get at the coil. However, almost every coil-on-plug system can be tested with an optional low amp probe through the ignition primary circuit. With the Vision Premier lab scope function, you can take a close look at the coil primary current signature. With the standard primary lead, you can see the primary voltage pattern with the ignition scope function.

Now, with the optional coil-on-plug coil clips, secondary patterns can be displayed in either single or multiple cylinder display utilizing parade, raster or 3-D views.

A special icon appears on the Vision Premier screen whenever you work on a C-O-P vehicle. The software contains a powerful database that answers your most critical question: "How do I troubleshoot this system with the Vision Premier?"
    Coil-On-Plug Help
  • A description of the system and operation.
  • Graphics and photos to illustrate the system, lead connection points, and expected waveforms to which you can compare test results.
  • A list of testing methods for the specific system: low amp probe, secondary, primary, etc. It also describes a step-by-step test process.
New features added in the 3.11 software release
  • Vehicle coverage for 2001 vehicles and some 2002.
  • 66% more Coil on Plug Help coverage.
      Additional files included:
    • Volvo
    • Toyota
    • 1999 and Newer Honda
    • Chevrolet Tracker
  • Improved Coil on Plug Help Format (HTML Style)
Detailed diagnostic screens make for quick, accurate diagnostics!
