Following our recent update on the evolving capabilities within the Jaltest platform, we have continued to listen carefully to your feedback. Today, we are pleased to share both an immediate fix and a confirmed long-term enhancement for DAF air dryer programming – at no cost to you.
The Background: Listening to Our Customers
In our previous article, we addressed concerns about changes to the Jaltest diagnostic platform and made clear that Jaltest has not simply maintained its capabilities – it has substantially expanded them. We know, however, that reassurances about the broader platform mean little if a specific, practical task is creating difficulties on the workshop floor. DAF air dryer programming is one such area that has generated understandable concern, and it is one we have taken extremely seriously.
After receiving customer feedback, Eclipse entered into extensive consultation with Jaltest to ensure that a robust, lasting solution was found. We are now in a position to share the outcome of those discussions in full.
Immediate Solution: Eclipse Will Handle It For You, Free of Charge
With immediate effect, Eclipse will carry out DAF air dryer programming on your behalf via Jaltest Central Services – and we will do so completely free of charge for all Eclipse customers with an active licence and support contract.
This is an Eclipse initiative. It is not a Jaltest service or offering; it is something Eclipse is providing directly to ensure that not a single customer experiences disruption to their workflow whilst the long-term software enhancement is finalised. You should not need to delay a job, turn away a vehicle, or seek an alternative tool. Simply contact us, and we will take care of it.
What this means in practice:
Any Eclipse customer holding an active licence and support contract can contact our team to have DAF air dryer programming carried out remotely via Jaltest Central Services. There is no additional charge for this service. It is available now.
We believe that supporting our customers means more than supplying hardware and software. It means standing behind you when a specific need arises and making sure the work gets done. This is our commitment in action.

Long-Term Solution: Will Full Native Capability Be Coming to Jaltest?
The immediate solution is precisely that – immediate. But we are equally committed to a long-term solution. We are working closely with Jaltest on this and we’ll provide updates on this as we know more.
It’s important to note, if the function is ever added to the software, the Jaltest Central Services route will not disappear. For units that require OEM-tool-only programming – vehicles that cannot be fully addressed through standard software pathways – Central Services will remain available as an option, ensuring complete coverage across all variants and edge cases.
Why This Matters
We are conscious that when a capability gap appears in a tool that workshops rely upon every day, it creates genuine operational pressure. Finding alternative methods takes time, costs money, and introduces uncertainty. That is why we acted quickly when this concern was raised, and why we pushed for a solution that addresses the issue both now and in the future.
As we noted in our previous article, the Jaltest platform has continued to grow in both breadth and depth, and the speed with which this concern has been acknowledged and acted upon is a further demonstration of that ongoing commitment. This is not a platform – or a partnership – that stands still. It is one that listens to customer feedback and responds with real, practical solutions.
Our Commitment to You
Eclipse has always taken pride in providing not just a product, but a service. The quality of our support, the responsiveness of our team, and our willingness to go further than the standard offering is what sets us apart. This update is a reflection of that approach.
Your feedback shaped this outcome. Without it, the issue may have remained unresolved for longer. We therefore want to express our genuine gratitude to every customer who raised the concern, whether directly with our team or through the wider community. It is precisely this kind of open dialogue that allows us to deliver better diagnostic support.
We remain fully committed to ensuring that your investment in Eclipse and Jaltest delivers the performance, reliability, and coverage your workshop demands – today and in the months ahead.
If you have any questions about DAF air dryer programming, wish to arrange the immediate Central Services option, or would like further information about the forthcoming software update, please do not hesitate to get in touch with the Eclipse team.
