IDC5 SOFTWARE
Diagnosis without frontiers
IDC5 is the latest generation of TEXA’s renowned operating system and another step forward to assist technicians. Thanks to major improvements in code the new system is faster than ever and guarantees virtually instant communication with a vehicle’s control units.
An even more intuitive software interface
The graphic interface of IDC5 is designed to resemble the latest consumer applications, simplifying and making the various steps in maintenance and repair procedures more intuitive. On top of this, all diagnostic pages have been redesigned to give a fuller view of the most relevant information.
Another new function allows you view and manage vehicle parameters. These can be displayed in graphic form and can be filtered using text searches or by selecting those specifically required.
Even the downloading of updates is faster in the new software. IDC5 is constantly evolving and is open to new technologies that appear in the near future.
A whole world of functions and services
The IDC5 software provides an extensive series of exclusive functionalities developed and optimised by TEXA’s own R&D department.
Automatic Vechile Search
The Vehicle Search function identifies the model you are working on precisely and rapidly. Quick and intuitive, the Vehicle Search function can be used in the following ways:
VIN code search: with the diagnostic tool connected to the vehicle’s OBD socket, this function automatically retrieves the VIN and then selects the model of vehicle from the IDC5 software database.
Engine number search: in this case the vehicle is identified simply by entering the engine number.
Registration number search: this function lets you find and load data for any vehicle saved in IDC5’s Customer Management database, simply by entering the complete or partial registration number.
TGS3s global system scan
The amazing TGS3s automatically scans all the accessible* control units on the vehicle. The system is impressively fast in the way it recognises the ECUs and accesses the relevant diagnostics. On completion of the scan, TGS3s immediately displays any errors detected on the vehicle along with the relevant error codes and descriptions. It also lets you read and reset errors with a single click. You can even run autodiagnostics on selected systems directly from the error detection screen.
*TGS3s scanning may not function with older models of vehicle since previous generation control units may not support the latest scanning functionalities.
Freeze Frame
Freeze Frame lets you view the display of parameters and data detected and recorded at the moment a fault occurs. The actual information displayed by Freeze Frame may vary from one vehicle manufacturer to another and from one type of system to another.
Error Help
“Error Help” is the easiest and most accessible way to obtain information on errors. The help content provides useful information on the meaning of error messages and if necessary, on what checks to perform first.
Recording of diagnostic sessions Rec & Play
Faults sometimes intermittently occur under specific operating conditions. For example, power may be lost only when driving uphill or when the engine is under a high load, or perhaps a warning light comes on only when the engine is hot. Under conditions like these, the Rec&Play function offers the perfect solution, as it lets you record parameter values and any errors that occur during a road test. Data can be viewed and analyzed later and even printed out as a report on the test.
Wiring Diagram Detail
This function makes an instant link between the error read from the control unit and the corresponding component on the wiring diagram. From the wiring diagram you can access the test functions and device descriptions typical of the IDC5 operating environment.
OEM Vehicle Check-Up
This function displays a list of systems configured on a vehicle and lets you view a list of any errors detected. The function identifies all ECUs and reads their error logs (3 to 20 times faster than normal). It also determines the state of each error (active or logged) and provides instant access to the “Error Help” function and related fault solutions. In addition, the function lets you select and display a determined group of ECUs and even cancel errors without having to re-establish communication between the tool and the control unit

Support Autodiagnostics
Data sheets and Wiring Diagrams provide detailed information on the functionalities of individual systems to support autodiagnostic tests. In addition, users can also look up specific mechanical data for each vehicle.
Data Sheets
TEXA’s technical bulletins provide superbly accurate information on the selected vehicle, including instructions for performing a manual reset after servicing, overviews of specific mechatronic systems and much more.
System Wiring Diagrams 
Wiring diagrams are prepared by TEXA’s own engineers. Because they follow the same standard for all vehicle manufacturers, they are a great help in troubleshooting. While you are consulting a wiring diagram, you can also access related datasheets by selecting a specific component or use the SIV function to perform oscilloscope tests using automatically selected settings.
i-Support (by subscription)
This function can be used to send a request for assistance simply by entering the type of vehicle and the system being serviced then describing the specific problem that cannot be solved. The TEXA call centre will immediately deal with the request and provide a response to solve the problem in the shortest possible time.
