Zurich ZR4: The Essential OBD2 Reader for Everyday Diagnostics
The Zurich ZR4 stands as the entry-level model in the lineup, perfectly suited for service writers and DIY enthusiasts. Its compact design ensures convenience and ease of use, allowing for quick reading and clearing of trouble codes and check engine lights. The ZR4 boasts a user-friendly interface with a 2.8″ color screen capable of displaying 20 data points simultaneously. Users can choose between English or Spanish display options. Essential diagnostic features include freeze frame data viewing and a patented health monitor LED, which provides a straightforward check for emissions readiness. The inclusion of a hot key feature allows for immediate, one-touch access to the main menu, streamlining the diagnostic process.
Zurich ZR8: Expanding Diagnostic Capabilities with ABS and Oil Reset
Stepping up from the ZR4, the Zurich ZR8 offers enhanced functionality, including an oil light reset and a battery/alternator system check. Crucially, the ZR8 extends its diagnostic reach to ABS (antilock brake system) codes and lights on domestic vehicles, enabling users to address a wider range of potential issues. Like the ZR4, it streams live data and features a trip cycle procedure. The ZR8 maintains the 2.8″ color screen, displaying 20 data points and offering bilingual settings in English or Spanish. It also retains the user-friendly hot key for menu access, freeze frame data viewing, and the vehicle health monitor LED for emissions checks, making it both powerful and easy to operate.
Zurich ZR11 & ZR13: Professional-Grade OBD2 Readers for Comprehensive Diagnostics
For master technicians and those requiring advanced diagnostic capabilities, the Zurich ZR11 and ZR13 models are the ideal choices. Designed for use on domestic, European, and Asian vehicles, these readers diagnose and clear ABS codes and lights, and are equipped for graphing and recording live data, along with a battery reset feature. Both the ZR11 and ZR13 feature a bilingual display in English or Spanish on a 2.8″ color screen, presenting 20 data points at once. Standard features across the line, such as freeze frame data, the patented health monitor LED, and one-touch hot key functionality, are also included. Enhancements specific to these models include an OBD connector with an integrated LED light for easier access to under-dash ports, and an internal battery for increased mobility around the vehicle and workshop. The ZR13 distinguishes itself as the top-tier Zurich OBD2 code reader by adding the ability to diagnose and clear SRS (supplemental restraint system) codes and lights. Furthermore, the ZR13 is equipped with FixAssist, a powerful feature that diagnoses trouble codes and provides likely repair solutions drawn from a real-time vehicle manufacturer database, making it the ultimate diagnostic companion.
