New generation Bosch KTS includes OEM diagnostic tech

Parallel channel communication allows for faster diagnosis, reprogramming and communication

New generation Bosch KTS includes OEM diagnostic tech
Vehicles now require a diagnostic tool for around 90 per cent of garage visits and some vehicles now have more than 50 different ECUs, Bosch say.

The new generation of KTS diagnostic tools from Bosch, the KTS 560 and KTS 590, now include technology which is currently only available on OEM diagnostic tools.

One of the new features of the KTS 560 and KTS 590 is parallel channel communication, which allows communication to more than one CAN system simultaneously, making diagnosis faster.

Because of the increased speeds involved, OEMs are increasingly using parallel channels to carry out programming and diagnosis and OEM diagnostic tools have already been launched with this capability.

Using parallel channel communication allows the new generation of KTS to work like the OEM solution to perform PassThru.

In a press release, Bosch said: “The KTS 560/590 has been proven to be able to support PassThru on at least 14 OEMs with testing on other OEM vehicles still ongoing.

“The user can connect the KTS 560 or KTS 590 to the car, enter the OEM portal with a laptop, access the updates required and send the updates from the portal to the car through the KTS.

Diagnostics over internet protocol

“The KTS 560/590 are the first independent aftermarket products with Diagnostics over internet protocol (DoIP) capabilities, working up to 200 times faster than high speed CAN.

“DoIP is being used by OEMs, using specific pins in the OBD socket to establish the connection.

“The KTS automatically identifies and links to the correct pins for DoIP.”

As well as the key benefits of parallel channel communication, the wider PassThru capabilities and DoIP, there are also additional improvements with the new generation KTS.

These include faster oscilloscope sampling rates (KTS 590 only), increased multimeter bandwidth and improved resistance to dust and water.

The perfect partner to the KTS is ESI[tronic] 2.0. ESI[tronic] 2.0 can perform all traditional scan tool functions but also offers more complex features such as wiring diagrams, component locations and test plans, technical service bulletins and service data.

Current subscribers to ESI[tronic] 2.0 will not have to purchase a second licence if they upgrade their hardware to a new generation KTS 560 or KTS 590.

New subscribers have a range of diagnostic packages to choose from according to their individual requirements.

Purchasing a new generation KTS now will improve productivity and will decrease the likelihood of having to turn business away because the correct tools are not available.
