Reliable and repeatable testing is critical in the automotive industry. We only have to look at Toyota to see the unfortunate outcome of ineffective testing. Between 2009 – 2010, Toyota recalled 12 million vehicles for various defects. In 2020 so far, Toyota has recalled almost six million vehicles. Using quality automotive electronic test equipment such as those available from Test Products Inc (TPI) will ensure a safe and reliable product reaches the end consumer. Here are the key features of their test equipment:
