With high tech against the error devil

AVL Ditest: Quick DPF diagnosis
In diesel vehicles that are driven a lot in the city and on short journeys, the diesel particulate filter often becomes clogged. The special AVL Ditest XDS 1000 Diagnosis diagnostic device can be used to quickly determine whether the DPF is actually just clogged or has a more serious defect. Various measured values ​​such as those from the differential pressure sensor, which provide information about the condition of the diesel particle filter, can be read using the handy device. If necessary, depending on the vehicle model, a DPF regeneration can be initiated or a stationary regeneration can be carried out. If the DPF needs to be replaced, the stored amount of soot can be reset using the AVL Ditest XDS 1000 and any existing error entries can be deleted.

The current KTS program from Bosch ranges from the OBD module KTS 515, for example in the Bosch emissions analysis exhaust gas tester, to the handy testers KTS 200 and 340 as well as the Bluetooth radio modules KTS 540 and 570 to the most powerful diagnostic testers KTS 840, KTS 870 and 890.
