Created for fault diagnosis on trucks, tractors, forklifts, boats, combine harvesters, excavators and more, the off-highway kits open up new markets and opportunities for you. The successful application of our products to these vehicles has been widely demonstrated by the many related case studies published on our website and in our newsletters, as well as by our growing heavy-duty (HD) and off-highway (OH) support forum and community.
The kits contain a modified PS4425A PicoScope having additional protection to withstand off-highway conditions. The included accessories help users quickly connect and easily carry out non-intrusive and non-invasive measurements on a wide variety of systems and components found in these vehicles.
In support of the new Off-Highway kits, we have released an initial set of ten HD-OH guided tests in our PicoScope software. Specifically, the tests cover 24 V battery, Bosch Denoxtronic, J1939 communications, engine and hydraulic system and component testing.
Entry kit
Built around the new Off-Highway 4425A PicoScope, the Off-Highway Entry kit was created for technicians working with off-highway equipment and heavy-duty vehicles.
The kit's clips, probes and break-out leads help technicians to quickly and easily connect to the components and systems they are most likely to see on the vehicles and equipment in their care. The kit also contains current clamps, ideal for checking power supply systems and delivery to electrically driven components.

Expert kit
In addition to the accessories found in the Off-Highway Entry kit, the Off-Highway Expert kit includes an extended range of break-out leads, for easy connectivity to a wider range of components and systems.
Also included is a WPS500X pressure transducer and accessories, ideal for measuring engine air intake, exhaust and fuel system pressures. The Off-Highway Expert kit comes in a carry case for ease of storage and transport.

Elite kit
With the inclusion of a dual WPS600 hydraulic transducer kit, the Off-Highway Elite kit gives technicians working with off-highway equipment and heavy-duty vehicles the tools to diagnose faults in hydraulic systems, in addition to the vehicle and equipment components and systems covered by the Off-Highway Expert kit. The Off-Highway Elite kit provides a convenient means to buy all the key accessories in one go, at a discounted price.

PicoScope is widely used on passenger cars, but is also suitable for heavy-duty and off-highway maintenance by both manufacturers and service providers.
Vehicles include trucks, tractors, forklifts, boats, combine harvesters, excavators and more. PicoScope only needs a voltage input, and we have a wide range of accessories available to investigate all types of signal.
PicoScope covers all systems, sensors and actuators found in heavy-duty (HD) and off-highway (OH), allowing vehicles and equipment to be maintained at peak performance and reliability.
Access needs do differ, which is why we offer a range of non-intrusive testing options. Current clamps, pressure sensors and probes play a big part here, and we have everything you need for old and new systems alike.
Ten new guided tests
In support of the new off-highway kits, our team of experts have added ten HD-OH specific tests to the PicoScope 7 Automotive Guided Test library. The tests include information and materials to help HD-OH technicians start their oscilloscope diagnostics journey, including guidance on the method and equipment used to complete the test and capture a waveform. With a pre-loaded example waveform for comparison and the scope settings automatically set, there is no more supportive diagnostic tool for your off-highway vehicle diagnosis.
Case Studies
Komatsu PC210 LC | Komatsu PC210 LC AdBlue fault
The following adventure started with a back story where the machine had been looked at previously and parts had been replaced.
I love the challenge these machines bring, as your approach to diagnosis has to change
A quick chat with the operator reported that after the second time it was looked at it worked for around four hours before moving to a level 4 warning ...
Case 821F | Wheel loader with loss of communication
The machine I was here to look at had been suffering from an intermittent problem for many weeks and seemingly just started playing up with no real way to get the fault to occur. The operator informed me that it would be fine for a few hours some days, and then others it would fault as soon as it was put to work.
Make sure you can get as much information from the customer as it helps you start to paint the picture of the fault. More importantly, you should try and replicate the fault to confirm the issue. Can’t fix what isn’t broke!
The problem with intermittent faults is precisely that, they are intermittent. With no way to replicate the fault the best thing we could do was start with a DTC scan of the machine ...
PQ333 Off Highway Scope only
PQ333 is a "scope only" (bare module) version of the PicoScope 4425A designed specifically for heavy-duty, off-highway vehicle diagnostics.
Scope is supplied with a USB Interface Cable, Picoscope software with free lifetime software updates from Pico as well as access to the Pico Waveform Library.
To confirm the difference between PQ333 (the 4425A Off Highway Scope) and PQ174 (generic 4425A PicoScope) is a different rubber case and a different plastic base on PQ333 to allow a more secure fit for the rubber case.
Underneath the case the scope is exactly the same.
This ruggedized Boot cannot be purchased on its own and is only available on the PQ333 and the different OFF Highway scope kits.
