First Claim
1. A system for checking correspondence between datacarrier, to be used in an automatic automative diagnosis apparatus, and the car to be tested, characterized in that the car is provided with a code-key in which the car characterizing code is recorded, said code corresponding with a code recorded on the datacarrier, means to read-out the code on the code-key and the code on the datacarrier, means to compare the code read-out from the datacarrier, and means to provide a signal in the event of absence of agreement between the code on the code-key and the code on the data carrier to indicate that the test program for the car should be stopped.

Abstract
In automatic diagnosis equipment for automobiles, it is essential for proper results that the datacarrier which carries the coded vehicle specifications corresponds with the vehicle to be tested. The present invention provides a system for checking correspondence between the datacarrier and the car to be tested which comprises a code-key in which the car characterizing code is recorded, said code corresponding with a code recorded on the datacarrier, and means for reading out the code on the code-key and the code on the datacarrier, for comparing them and for signaling and/or blocking the test program in the event of absence of agreement.
