* Core Diagnostic Functions:
* Read Fault Codes (DTCs): Retrieves and displays detailed descriptions of diagnostic trouble codes, helping pinpoint the exact problem area.
* Clear Fault Codes (DTCs): Erases fault codes and turns off the Check Engine Light (MIL) after repairs are made.
* Retrieve ECU Information: Displays vehicle information such as VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), CID (Calibration ID), and CVN (Calibration Verification Number).
* Display Live Data Stream: Shows real-time data from various sensors and components, often with graphical plotting, allowing for in-depth analysis of vehicle performance and identifying abnormal parameters. This can include viewing multiple data streams in one graph for comparison.
2. Full OBD2 Functions (10 Modes):
* The Kingbolen S6 supports all 10 modes of OBDII (On-Board Diagnostics II), which are standard for all OBDII-compliant vehicles (typically 1996 and newer). These include:
* Read Codes: (As mentioned above)
* Clear Codes & Reset: (As mentioned above)
* Data Stream: (As mentioned above)
* I/M Readiness Status: Indicates whether the vehicle's emission-related systems are functioning correctly and ready for inspection/maintenance testing.
* View Freeze Frame Data: Captures a snapshot of vehicle conditions (parameters) at the moment an emissions-related fault occurs.
* O2 Sensor Test: Allows retrieval and viewing of O2 sensor monitor test results.
* On-Board Monitor Test: Retrieves and displays test results for emissions-related powertrain components and systems.
* EVAP Test: Performs a test of the evaporative emission control system to detect leaks.
* Component Test: Actuates certain vehicle components via commands from the scanner to test their operability.
* Read Vehicle Information: (As mentioned above)
3. 28+ Maintenance/Reset Services:
The S6 offers a wide array of commonly used maintenance and reset functions, reducing the need for specialized tools for many tasks. These include:
* Oil Reset: Resets the engine oil life system after an oil change.
* Brake Reset (EPB): Deactivates and activates the brake control systems, assists with brake fluid control, opens and closes brake pads, and sets brakes after replacement.
* SAS (Steering Angle Sensor) Reset: Calibrates the steering angle sensor.
* Electric Throttle Relearn: Initializes the throttle actuator to return the ECU's learning value to its initial state.
* TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) Reset: Resets TPMS sensors after tire rotation or replacement.
* Injector Coding: Programs new injector codes to the ECU.
* DPF Regeneration: Clears particulate matter from the Diesel Particulate Filter.
* Battery Matching/Reset: Registers a new battery with the vehicle's system.
* ABS Bleeding: Bleeds air from the ABS brake system.
* Gear Learn/Reset: Performs gear learning or reset functions.
* Headlamp Matching: Adjusts headlight settings.
* Suspension Matching: Adjusts body height (for vehicles with adjustable suspension).
* Windows Calibration: Calibrates windows with memory function.
* Coolant Bleeding: Activates the electronic water pump for venting.
* Language Change: Changes the system language of the vehicle's central control panel.
* And many more, with ongoing updates to expand coverage.
4. Advanced Features:
* Auto VIN Scan: Automatically and quickly identifies the vehicle's information (year, make, model, VIN), streamlining the diagnostic process.
* Wireless Bluetooth Connectivity: Allows for convenient wireless diagnosis from a distance using a smartphone or tablet.
* One-Key Wi-Fi Update: Enables lifetime free software updates directly from the device via Wi-Fi, without needing a computer.
* One-Key Screenshot: Captures and saves diagnostic screens for documentation.
* Record & Playback Diagnostic Data: Allows users to record live data streams and play them back later for analysis.
* Feedback Function: Provides a way to submit feedback or issues to the manufacturer.
* Built-in Google Browser: For quickly searching DTC definitions and descriptions.
* User-Friendly Interface: Typically features a large touch screen display (e.g., 6-inch) and intuitive navigation.
* Wide Vehicle Coverage: Supports a large number of car brands worldwide (e.g., 93+ or 123+ car brands).
* Multi-Language Support: Available in multiple languages (e.g., 15 or 18 languages).
* Robust Hardware: Often includes a powerful processor, Android operating system, ample memory, and a durable design.
* Bi-directional Control / Active Test (Subscription-based on some models): This allows the scanner to send commands to vehicle systems and components to test their functionality (e.g., activating fuel pump, cycling ABS solenoids). Note that this may require a separate subscription on some versions of the S6.
* ECU Coding (Subscription-based on some models): Allows for customization and modification of certain vehicle parameters. This is typically a more advanced function and may require a subscription.
In summary, the Kingbolen S6 aims to be a versatile and powerful diagnostic tool, offering a comprehensive suite of functions for a wide range of automotive needs, from basic code reading to advanced maintenance resets and system diagnostics.
