Mastertech 3100 is essentially a Tech1 for the "general market" - I believe that most of the cartridges for the Tech1 & 1A will interchange and of course for the "general market" it included some optional cards. I don't have one but have seen it used in shops but have no "hands on"!!

Thanks WV. I just recently obtained one in great condition and was wondering what the general consensus is on using it for diagnostics etc. It did come with a bunch of adapters and 4 different program cartridges. I was wondering what cartridges to use to test with.

What cartridges were included? List them and it should be easily sorted.

Keep you eye open on Ebay for adapters and other cartridges that go with the system.



I am not saying you need all these but here is what is available for your search on Ebay or craigslist. It will also serve as a gauge to how complete your kit is. Usually I find out what part I need when the book tells me to use a certain adapter[/SIZE][/FONT]

I highly suggest seeking the manuals which exist for each of modules/cartiges listed above (They are in a small loose leaf format in very small binders. They are an invaluable tool that provides step by step instructions on how to use the Tech-1A and its individual cartridges and adapters and cable.

With what you have - if you've got the proper ALDL cables you can do the powertrain only for the years and models listed for the cartridges. There's no assurance that ALL of the Tech1 cartridges will work with the device. Don't assume it all will!

Thanks GC. I found that I have a lot of what you listed although my pt#'s start with 0200xxxx. I also found cartridges hydamatic 88-92, Chevrolet EPROM service (TK06030), GM 88-92 Brake V2.0 TK06030C. These are probably older than the ones you listed. I will see about obtaining the manuals like you said.
Does the 3100 work well for you on your car?

[Franke]

Thanks WV. I have quite a few cable with adapters for all kinds of cars especially the GM stuff. This tester came from a Chevy mechanic who is getting out of the biz. Do you know what the cartridge "Chevrolet EPROM service" is for?

I have a tech 1 A and yes it does

[Corvette95]

Digging up an old post..... I moved and the movers lost the box with all my Tech1A cables and adapters in it. I have the cable that plugs into the tech one, I need the adapter that plugs into the other end that would plug directly into the ODB1 car connector BUT I also need the adapter that turns the OBD1 connector to the OBD2 style connector that is on a 95 OBD 1 Corvette. Can anyone give me part numbers to the cables and adapters I need? Vetronix couldnt help. I also need a battery or cigarette lighter power adapter. Thanks!
