How Smoke Testing Works
Diagnostic smoke testing is the fastest, most reliable method for locating leaks in vehicle systems. The 43060-HD introduces dense, non-toxic smoke into the system under controlled pressure. The smoke escapes at leak points, making even the smallest leaks immediately visible. This eliminates guesswork and dramatically reduces diagnostic time compared to traditional methods.
