Hi Guys
Does anyone know the part number for the laptop diagnostic tool and software for diagnosing Bobcat skidsteers like S185, S300,T190 and so on . Is their a hand tool for turning off the service light in the skid steer or is the laptop and interface tool the only thing for this purpose .Also if anyone is willing to share the software that would be great. If any one can let me know it would be very helpful.
Thanks
ED

bobcat's remote start tool is expensive, i'd guess in the $750 -$1000 range.

the software is available only to dealers.

i usume you are talking about the service warning light. with the newer style dash ( the type with the "information button") the monitor can be reset by that button.
toggle through the settings until the monitor icon comes up, then press and hold the button until it resets.
you cant reset the old style dash without service software, nor can you disable the monitor without service software.

On the older panels, press the light button to turn on panel and then press and hold HIGH FLOW and AUXILLARY PRESSURE RELEASE buttons at the same time. RESET will appear in hour meter display. This will just reset it - not shut it off for good

the tool you are refering to is called a remote start tool. it's an interface between the machine & service PC
the tool alone doesnt do diagnostics, you need the service software that's only available to dealers.

you say you work on older machines, the remote start only connects to G series and newer machines.

the remote start DOESNT do any diagnostics, it's an interface between the machine and bobcat service software.

bobcat software is proprietary and available only to authorized dealers.
