BMW MODIC Diagnostic Tester: Notes

The BMW Mobile Diagnostic Information Center (MoDiC) was developed to meet the diagnostic needs of BMW vehicles for the future. It compliments the Diagnostic Information System (DIS) tester as a diagnostic tool that enables the technician to quickly troubleshoot electronic faults and problems with the vehicles. The advantage of the MoDiC is its mobility. You have the ability to take the tester anywhere in the workshop and to the vehicle. It can also remain connected to the vehicle while it is driven to check for intermittent problems or conditions that only occur while the vehicle is driven. The MoDiC is a personal computer with:

• Interchangeable batteries.
• UNIX operating system.
• 3 Gigabyte hard drive for data/program storage.
• 32 MB working memory.
• 90 megahertz Pentium processor.
• Diagnosis Information System (DIS).
