Overview
The TOPDON TC001 attaches to Android phones via USB-C, adding 512×384 Super IR thermal imaging for mobile diagnostics in the field.

Automotive Use Cases
TC001 thermal imaging helps you find faults that OBD2 codes miss:

- Cooling system blockages and thermostat failures
- Brake drag and wheel bearing heat signatures
- HVAC temperature splits and blend door issues
- Cylinder misfires visible as exhaust manifold temperature differences
How to Use This Tool
Power on the TC001, point at the area under investigation, and compare temperature patterns against known-good references. Scan radiators, exhaust manifolds, brake rotors, and wiring while the system is under load. Save images when the TOPDON app or built-in storage supports documentation for before/after comparisons.
