Vehicle Fault Code Reader Specification Example for Dealership Service: Lightweight Version
Vehicle Fault Code Reader Specification Example for Dealership Service: Lightweight Version
This is a worked specification for vehicle fault code reader in a lightweight version programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The lightweight version version exists because the duty cycle on dealership service is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually inconsistent hardness between lots.
Example specification
| Item | Vehicle Fault Code Reader |
|---|---|
| Application | Dealership Service |
| Version | Lightweight Version |
| Base material | PU Leather |
| Controlled dimensions | 4 key dimensions, recorded per lot |

| Finish | painted |
| MOQ | 200 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 7 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | RoHS |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — PU Leather, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.
Processes involved
- precision stamping
- ultrasonic cleaning
- die casting
- heat treatment
- shot blasting
- gravity casting
Where this example applies
Programmes that run lightweight version most often specify this build for dealership service. Related applications include export programmes, utility trailers, workshop replacements, construction equipment, long-haul trucks.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 4.0 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the RoHS-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 7 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 200 pieces per line.
Ask for the current catalogue and the specification sheet for this line.
