The KINGBOLEN® K7 Bluetooth OBD2 Scanner is engineered to bring comprehensive, OE-level diagnostic capabilities to automotive enthusiasts and professionals alike. Compatible with over 100 car makes and models worldwide from 1996 onwards, this powerful tool empowers you to read and clear fault codes, delve into ECU information, monitor live data streams, and analyze freeze frame data across all vehicle systems. Achieve dealer-level diagnostics and repairs from the convenience of your garage or workshop with this exceptional OBD2 scanner.
This top-tier OBD2 scanner offers a wide array of essential diagnostic functions:
✔️ Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Reading and Clearing: Quickly pinpoint problem areas within your vehicle’s systems and efficiently clear codes after repairs are completed, ensuring accurate system feedback.
✔️ ECU Information Access: Retrieve detailed information from your vehicle’s control units, including specific unit types and version numbers, essential for accurate diagnostics and component identification.
✔️ Real-time Live Data Monitoring: Observe live data parameters in text, waveform, or a combined 4-in-1 data stream format. This versatile data presentation allows for clear visualization of vehicle operation and aids in identifying intermittent issues. The 4-in-1 graphing feature is particularly useful for comparing data streams and spotting anomalies at a glance.
✔️ Freeze Frame Data: Capture a snapshot of critical data parameters the moment a fault occurs. For instance, if an engine misfire is detected, the scanner records sensor values at that precise moment, providing valuable context for diagnosing the root cause.
✔️ Automatic VIN Identification (AUTO VIN): With a single click, automatically identify your vehicle’s make, model, and year. (Note: AUTO VIN functionality depends on VIN programming in the vehicle’s ECU and may not be available on all models. Manual VIN entry is always available for complete diagnostic access.)
The KINGBOLEN K7 extends its diagnostic prowess across all major vehicle systems, including but not limited to: Engine, Automatic Transmission, Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Parking Brake (EPB), Battery Management System (BMS), Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), Suspension, Cruise Control, Steering Angle, Air Conditioning, Audio, and Body systems.
Bi-Directional Control and Advanced ECU Coding Capabilities
The Kingbolen Bluetooth Obd2 Scanner elevates diagnostic capabilities with bi-directional control and ECU coding, features typically found in professional, high-end scan tools.
Bi-Directional Control (Active Test) is an invaluable function for automotive technicians. It dramatically reduces diagnostic time by allowing users to send commands directly to the vehicle’s ECU to test individual components and systems. This active testing capability allows for quick verification of actuator operation and system integrity without the need for extensive manual disassembly. Examples of bi-directional tests include:
- Fuel Pressure Control Valve testing
- Fuel Trim Enable and Injector Tests (including Injector Buzz Test)
- Cylinder Deactivation assessment
- A/C Compressor Clutch Relay On/Off cycling
- ABS Pump Motor cycling
- Window, Door, and Sunroof operation
- Cooling Fan Motor command
- Interior and High Beam Lighting tests
- EVAP system tests (Purge Solenoid Valve, Vent Solenoid Valve, Purge/Seal)
Advanced ECU Coding and Online Coding unlock a new dimension of vehicle customization and repair. The KINGBOLEN K7 allows you to access hidden functions and tailor vehicle settings to your preferences. Furthermore, ECU coding is crucial for component matching after replacements and resetting adaptive data to ensure optimal performance. Examples of ECU coding functionalities include:
- Disabling the Seat Belt Buzzer for track or off-road use (where permissible)
- Configuring Rear-View Mirror Folding behavior
- Enabling/Disabling Auto Engine Start-Stop systems
- Customizing Auto Lock/unlock functions
- Disabling Daytime Running Lights or Seat Belt Alarm Beeps (where permissible and applicable)
Note: ECU Coding compatibility varies by vehicle. Always verify compatibility with your vehicle’s VIN before attempting coding functions. The Kingbolen K7 does not support ECU programming.
