I do not believe I have come across the first vehicle that I could control the coolant fans with this tool, though it does offer many more advanced controls that I wouldnРІР‚в„ўt expect at times.Р”ВTC functions offers the usual options to read and clear codes, as well as to do a full system scan for DTCРІР‚в„ўs across all controllers, which can be rather nice.

This is also where the tool seems to lack some of the basic bi-directional tests. The maintenance and special tests are fairly good about what they cover, though it can be unclear if what you want should be considered РІР‚СљmaintenanceРІР‚Сњ or РІР‚Сљspecial,РІР‚Сњ so there is some trial and error there. Once a vehicle and controller is selected there are various maintenance tests, DTC functions, special tests, and data stream options. In the vehicle selection process you can use Auto-ID on a fairly broad range of vehicles, or proceed with Year/Make/Model selection, then select the controller you wish to access, of which there is usually a robust selection. The tool comes up fairly quickly to the home screen, where you can select Start New to input vehicle information, go the web browser, or launch the oscilloscope (if you have the scope attachment).

The VCI communicates to the tablet over Bluetooth, and has a serial connection for the OBD interface cable, USB port, and power jack. The main part of the tool, the tablet, has a 10-inch touchscreen, power and function buttons, VGA output, SD card slot, Ethernet slot, power jack, and 2 USB ports. An AC charger, USB cable, and various vehicle interface cables are included. The Genisys Touch is a two-part tool consisting of a tablet computer and a wireless vehicle communications interface (VCI).

The wireless and J2534 aspects of the tool are also very nice to have. It has a decent amount of support for various modules on domestic, Asian, and European vehicles. Being a fairly well-balanced scan tool at a reasonable price, the Genisys Touch has been my primary tool for computer diagnostics.
