A new, computer-run engine diagnostic system that tells what to fix, and has the potential to eliminate costly, time-consuming trial-and-error repairs of automobiles and trucks, is currently being evaluated by Consolidated Edison Co. in a concerted effort to minimize fleet-maintenance costs while optimizing fuel usage. The tester, developed by Hamilton Test Systems (HTS), a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp, automatically checks electrical, exhaust emission, and other engine conditions, determines what is wrong, and decides what parts have to be repaired, adjusted, or replaced. Its computer then issues a printout, which provides all this information both to the mechanic and to fleet management.
