Professional test equipment

for modern vehicle electronics

The KTS series from Bosch: 20 years of success in workshop-compatible test equipment for ECU diagnostics

The digital revolution in the automotive industry

has not bypassed the workshop. Increasingly
more complicated vehicle components and their
networking to systems are turning vehicles into
mobile computers. This results in professional
repairs and maintenance requiring qualified
diagnosis.

New possibilities for turnover with modern

diesel technology
A good example is the triumphant progress of the diesel
engine: high pressure systems, such as common rail or
unit injectors from Bosch make vehicle diagnosis essential. The KTS series, in combination with the specially
designed ESI[tronic] software, provide you with optimal
opportunities to check these systems in the vehicle.

for diagnosis, technology, repair and service

The complete ESI[tronic] software on two DVD-ROMs

ESI[tronic] perfectly geared for diagnostics, technology,

maintenance and service
It is only with professional diagnostics and information
systems that a workshop will be able in future to offer all
services for innovative vehicles. ESI[tronic] is perfectly tuned
to the Bosch test equipment, which permits introduction to
ECU diagnostics if a workshop PC is available.

ESI[tronic] software with guided troubleshooting

OBD: european On Board Diagnostics

With OBD (On Board Diagnostics), a Europe-wide

standard for emission values and their correct testing was introduced.

Malfunction indicator (MI)

The malfunction indicator is a yellow indicator lamp with the symbol of an engine.
In accordance with the OBD guideline

Bosch test equipment makes the perfect

(as of EURO 3), the indicator lamp lights up if:

diagnosis possible

A fault occurs that leads to cylinder shutoff to protect

Standardized diagnosis interface

Standardized diagnosis protocol

Standardized diagnosis statements

Uniform diagnostics connector

Since 01.01.2001, new vehicles in Europe fitted with
a gasoline engine and since autumn 2004 those with a
diesel engine can only be registered if they are equipped
with the European On Board Diagnostics system

the catalytic converter (misfire detection). In this case,

the lamp flashes as long as the error is present.

An exhaust-gas-related fault occurs in two successive

driving cycles

The engine management / transmission management
detects a control unit self-test fault
The ignition key is in the ON position without the engine

Simple, fast and workshop-oriented testing of

emission values in accordance with the OBD standard: the KTS 115 is the perfect entry level solution for this task, providing connection to an existing
PC or laptop. All OBD modes and P0 codes are
