Unlock Comprehensive Vehicle Diagnostics with the KONNWEI KW850
The KONNWEI KW850 isn’t just another OBD2 scanner; it’s a sophisticated diagnostic tool engineered to provide in-depth insights into your vehicle’s performance. Compatible with all OBD II compliant vehicles, both gasoline and diesel, domestic and imported, this scanner ensures broad vehicle coverage. Let’s delve into the features that make the KW850 a standout choice for vehicle diagnostics.
Essential OBD2 Functions for Accurate Readings
At its core, the KW850 delivers all ten modes of OBDII testing, providing a complete diagnostic spectrum.
-
Read and Clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs): The KW850 retrieves generic (P0, P2, P3, and U0), manufacturer-specific (P1, P3, and U1) codes, and pending codes. It clearly displays the error codes and their descriptions, helping you understand the problem at hand. Furthermore, it allows you to turn off the Check Engine Light (MIL), clear codes, and reset monitors after repairs are made.
-
One-Click Readiness Key: This patented feature is a game-changer for quick State Emissions readiness checks and drive cycle verification. With a single click, you can assess your vehicle’s readiness for emissions testing, saving you time and potential headaches.
-
Visual and Audible Readiness Verification: Bright color-coded LEDs and a built-in speaker provide instant visual and audible feedback for readiness verification. Green, yellow, and red LEDs clearly indicate your vehicle’s emissions status, while the audible tone confirms test results, ensuring no misinterpretations.
-
Live Data Stream and Freeze Frame: Monitor real-time live PCM datastream to observe crucial engine parameters as they happen. The freeze frame data feature captures a snapshot of sensor values when a fault occurs, providing valuable context for diagnosis.
-
Enhanced Mode 6 On-Board Monitoring Test: Access advanced OBD2 Mode 6 On Board Monitoring Test Results for specific monitored systems. This in-depth data provides a more granular view of your vehicle’s internal systems, aiding in diagnosing complex issues.
-
O2 Sensor and EVAP System Test: The KW850 performs live O2 sensor test data and EVAP system test data, crucial for emissions control and engine efficiency diagnostics.
Advanced Features for Professional-Grade Diagnostics
Beyond basic OBD2 functions, the KW850 incorporates advanced capabilities usually found in higher-end scanners.
-
Live Sensor Data in Multiple Modes: View live sensor data in both text and graph modes (available for 1996 and newer vehicles). Graph mode visually represents data trends, making it easier to identify intermittent faults or sensor irregularities.
-
Data Logging and Playback: Read, store, and playback live sensor data. This feature allows you to record data during test drives and review it later, which is invaluable for diagnosing intermittent problems that are difficult to catch in real-time.
-
Battery Voltage Monitoring: Real-time battery voltage monitoring surpasses many other scanners, even those in higher price brackets. This is critical for diagnosing electrical system issues and ensuring accurate test results, as low battery voltage can skew readings.
-
Built-in DTC Lookup Library: The integrated DTC lookup library provides on-screen definitions of diagnostic trouble codes. No need to consult external manuals – get instant code definitions, saving time and effort during diagnosis.
-
Vehicle Information Retrieval: Automatically retrieves vehicle information (VIN, CIN, and CVN). This feature streamlines the diagnostic process by quickly identifying the vehicle and accessing relevant data.
-
Troubleshooter Code Tips: The troubleshooter code tips guide technicians to the root cause of trouble codes faster. These helpful hints, based on common failure patterns, can significantly reduce diagnostic and repair time.
