EASE diagnostics is merging with DENSO, impacting the future of the Ease Obd2 Scan Tool. Effective immediately, EASE has ceased sales of all diagnostic tools and related software. This includes the popular Ease OBD2 scan tool, reprogrammer, and QuikCode.
Key Changes for Ease OBD2 Scan Tool Users
Existing Ease OBD2 scan tool users need to be aware of several critical changes:
- No Future Software Updates: There will be no further updates to the Ease OBD2 scan tool software or the reprogramming assistant.
- Continued Functionality (Limited Time): Current scan tool software (versions 10-X3) will continue to function as long as obd2.com and related URLs remain active. These sites are planned to be maintained for two years.
- Critical Software Update: An essential update is available to prevent the scan tool from being disabled after the obd2.com website is taken down. This update will not affect unlocked features. Download it at obd2.com/update.htm.
- Immediate Expiration of Ford Secure Controls: Access to Ford Secure Controls has been terminated.
- Reprogramming Assistant Functionality: The Reprogramming Assistant will continue to work with the current installation but cannot be reinstalled on another computer.
Warranty and Limited Stock Availability
EASE/DENSO will honor existing warranty obligations. While new diagnostic tools are no longer available, EASE has limited stock of accessories such as vehicle interfaces and cables available for purchase until September 26, 2018. All sales are final, with no returns or refunds. Payment is required in full at the time of purchase.
Conclusion
The merger of EASE and DENSO marks a significant change for users of the Ease OBD2 scan tool. Downloading the available update is crucial for ensuring continued functionality. While current users can continue to utilize their existing tools with limitations, future diagnostic needs will require alternative solutions.
