General Information
The Virtual Technician (VT) HU generates diagnostic information to aid the customer and the technician in
diagnosing vehicle fault issues. The system creates log files, captures fault codes, and sends alert messages
and other advanced diagnostic information to the Detroit Customer Support Center. The Virtual Technician
utilizes GPS navigation, GSM (cellular telephone) communication, and a J1939 connection for databus
monitoring. Virtual Technician does not require any driver input to function. The unit is located behind the
auxiliary dash panel.

Parts
See Table 1 for the kit used in this procedure.
