NEXIQ All-in-one Service Bay Diagnostic Suite

    STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich.--Feb. 26, 2002--NEXIQ Technologies (OTCBB: NEXQ), a leading provider of vehicle diagnostic products and telematics solutions for the automotive and commercial vehicle markets, will debut PC Integrated Diagnostics, an all-in-one service bay diagnostic suite, at the Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC) 2002 Meeting, March 5 - 7, 2002 in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
    The PC Integrated Diagnostics suite integrates software products from leading heavy-duty component manufacturers onto a single platform, enabling technicians to easily move from one component to another without restarting or reconfiguring the system. This advance dramatically streamlines the process of vehicle diagnostics and increases technician productivity. In addition, it enables technicians to complete more diagnostic checks within their own service bay, eliminating the costs associated with outsourcing diagnostics.
    "All of our diagnostic products are designed with the technician and fleet manager in mind," stated John R. Allard, NEXIQ Technologies' chairman and CEO. "This focus ensures that our tools contribute to improving the bottomline of each fleets' business, as well as increasing the overall productivity of technicians. PC Integrated Diagnostics exemplifies this strategy by enabling technicians to seamlessly conduct diagnostics on numerous components."
    In addition to the technician-level benefits, PC Integrated Diagnostics allow managers of large fleets to increase overall efficiencies by storing available historical data about each vehicle or fleet. This captured information can be used to monitor fleet behavior and performance.
    NEXIQ Technologies offers a full range of support and value-added services with the PC Integrated Diagnostics suite. Specifically, NEXIQ Technologies' team of diagnostic experts will ensure compatibility between component OEM diagnostic software; complete a comprehensive review of diagnostic software updates to determine which updates are most relevant to each fleets requirements; conduct complete training sessions for fleet managers and technicians; recommend and supply any PC hardware, upgrades or required repairs; provide next-day tool replacement and provide required technical support.
    The PC Integrated Diagnostics suite is compatible with NEXIQ Technologies' Magi-Key(R) and LiteLink, as well as third party suppliers.
