App Concept

WireTrax Pro

WireTrax Pro is a mobile app and wiring diagnostic assistant that guides technicians through complex electrical troubleshooting. It uses step-by-step fault trees, integration with vehicle-specific wiring diagrams, and a guided multimeter/oscilloscope workflow to pinpoint broken wires, bad grounds, or intermittent faults—even when the vehicle has no OBD communication. Unlike generic scanners, WireTrax leverages community-sourced solutions and manufacturer data to solve ghost electrical issues.
