Noregon released a major JPRO update on Wednesday, expanding upon the addition of CAN bus compatibility.
"CAN bus technology has been a game changer for customers who took advantage of it with the last JPRO release, but this update makes it an even more accessible feature for technicians of any skill level," says Jason Hedman, Noregon product manager. "By following prompts in the software, newer technicians can solve communication issues under the guidance of their diagnostic tool without always having to grab a multimeter or pull away a more experienced coworker."

Noregon recently launched the ability to diagnose CAN bus issues and read voltage and resistance directly in JPRO. This update expands on that ability with the integration of Repair Mentor, an embedded tool that guides technicians through the optimal diagnostic process. It identifies the location of an open, disconnected or short circuit and graphs the live data values necessary to determine the root cause.
On-highway updates include proprietary engine faults and roll call for Mack and Volvo VN4 architecture, including Mack's Anthem and Pioneer models and Volvo's VNL models. New bi-directional tests are available for major component manufacturers, including Eaton and Cummins.
JPRO also includes extensive coverage for manufacturers in construction, agriculture and other heavy equipment industries at no additional subscription costs.
Finally, an optional dark mode is also available within the application settings.
JPRO users can update their software through a prompt in the application or by visiting the Noregon website. U.S.-based product experts are available to answer questions about the update and can be reached at (855) 889-5776.
